In the beginning you create your LCS founder's background and start alone, but you can recruit as many liberals as you like. The mission is pretty straight forward, change the nation, place liberals in charge. There are many ways to do so, using raw violence, kidnapping important people and converting them into sleepers, changing public opinion, invading the radio station and broadcasting your ideals, freeing criminals, and so forth.

Please be aware that LCS is a rather mature game with lines inappropriate children, but they add a nice comical aspect to it.

]]> 03 Jul 2007 01:44:20 Overseer Assault Overseer Assault is a turn-based single-computer multiplayer game loosely inspired by Worms. It fuses elements of Turn Based Strategy and Top-down shooter into a cohesive whole.

The Players begin by selecting a side, either the mobile Attackers, or the static Overseers. The aim of the game is for the members of one team to annihilate all the members of the opposing team. Control flips between players on a turn-based basis, with each turn time-limited.
Attackers are able to move about freely during their turns, and although they have limited hit points, they are able to respawn a certain number of times if killed. Attackers can only fire a weapon once per turn.
Overseers are static supercomputers that cannot move, but are able to place defensive turrets within their zone of influence to defend themselves. Only one turret can be placed per turn, but multiple turrets can be fired per turn. Once an Overseer is destroyed, it stays destroyed.



The game is currently undergoing a major upgrade to full 3D graphics, which will introduce a new first-person view for Attackers, but keep the top-down overview for Overseers. New weapons are also planned.

]]> 25 Jun 2007 07:52:56 Battleships Forever Introduction
Battleships Forever is a freeware tactical Real Time Strategy game that puts you in command of a small fleet of warships in space. Combat and damage mechanics are extremely detailed. Everything is simulated in game if possible. There are no abitrary "to hit chance" values in Battleships Forever. The game also features many innovative mechanics that you've never seen before. For example, the Cronus Battleship sports a Flux Shield generator that allows you to draw a defensive force shield around your ships in any shape you want. Another example are the Deflector modules that are used extensively through the game. These modules make a single section of a ship totally invulnerable to fire. This means that you will have to manoeuvre your ships to attack sections of the enemy ships not protected by Deflectors while keeping your own protected sections facing the enemy. Position is paramount!

Players will command picked fleets made up of Battleships, Destroyers and Patrol Craft. The completed game will include ten campaign missions and multiple skirmish modes.

Battleships Forever is inspired by and loosely based on Warning Forever by Hikoza.T.Ohkubo
]]> 17 Jun 2007 12:51:03 Thread Space: Hyperbol www.hyperbol.com
TS: Hyperbol is a game viewed Top-Down over a flat playing-field as you take control of a Ship that you customize in order to destroy your opponents. Game Types include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Spawn Capture, Attack/Defend Objectives, and more to be added later with a Map editor.
Your ship functions more like a Battleship, as it is stationary most of the time, a Turret that you can move occasionally across the map into strategically key positions, or simply to dodge incoming fire. The farther you move, the long you have to wait to move again. Or, you can customize your ship to recharge it's fuel rapidly if you wish to use a more active flighty Ship.
There are 6 Weapon modules that will produce the weapons you use. Your factory can hold up to 6 Mods total, so if you want more of 1 type, you have to forgo access to another. Having more then 1 will make production of that type faster, and allow you to hold more in your max stock. Each Mod will produce several different projectiles, for example the basic 'Ballistics' mod will give you access to Energy Bolts, Missiles, and Shrapnel Bombs. Also, once you have build a total of 6 Mods, you have the option to Upgrade 1 of them into a lv. 2 Super version. All the weapons made by this super Mod are either upgraded, or totally new versions of the weapon. As the above example, the Bolts do extra damage, the Missiles become MIRV Packs, and the Shrapnel Bombs become Shrapnel Wedges, which fires all it's shards in a cone instead of in all directions.

    ]]>     06 May 2007 09:51:13     Moves This is a very simple board game for 2 players (or 1 player versus the computer). Both players get 7 pawns and 1 king on a 8x8 board. The goal is to get your opponent's king or 6 of his pawns. Each turn, the player may select 1 stone and move it straight or in an L-bow. You cannot jump over stones, but you can step onto your opponent's stone to take it. The numbers on your stones indicate the number of tiles they can move in a turn. When the Mastermind option is selected, the stones change in value when you move it. Pawns can get numbers 1-4, while the king only gets 1 or 2. A challenging game!

    Setting the Mastermind option (to change the alue of your stones each move) will show numbers on the board so you will know the number you will get when you move a stone there.

    This games comes with 5 imaginary friends of fine-tuned artificial intelligence to play offline against your computer.
    ]]>     17 Apr 2007 04:47:13     Proximity I made this game in 2005 as just a little thing to do in between projects, and it's spread to just about everywhere on the internet that has games and is my most popular game by far.

    It takes all the elements in common strategy game and distills them down to their core: competing for territory and having battles. However, in this game, once a tile is placed, it can no longer be moved, only captured, so unlike most strategy games, a game of Proximity is usually over in about 10 minutes. Also, since the rules are pretty simple, it appeals to a lot of people who aren't normally into the big, unwieldly, and complex strategy games out there.

    I'm currently working on a sequel, as well as looking for ways to get the game onto consoles, and hopefully a board game version eventually.
    ]]>     11 Apr 2007 03:59:23     EVIL5

    NOW UPDATED TO VERSION 2.65 !





    EVIL5



    Created by Michael Kloeppner

    FireStormSeraph@yahoo.com

    The Story:

    It was the year 9820 when an intergalactic war broke out between the Thydarrons and the Gochectk Republic. Because of the 4190 'Fair Trade And Peace Settlement' , Earth was once again inclined to intervene on behalf of Gochectks. But no-one knew, no-one could have imagined the outcome.

    Now 30 years after the attack, the Thydarrons have returned to claim the fiery aftermath once called Earth. Only a small colony of human survivors and their one remaining Battle-Bot stand in the way. These, the strongest and most resourceful of humans, coordinate their defense from a secret military space station known as 'Hugo12c', located somewhere within the old Vegain5 galaxy.

    You are 'E-5', a multifunction Battle-Bot designed and created by the human survivors and governed by a highly sophisticated, and heavily armed military satellite (J.U.D.D) under the control of 'L.E.X.' who is the brain of 'Hugo12c' and your prime commander. You have been teleported to an old abandoned transport station on earth where J.U.D.D will brief you on your first mission.

    The Main Character:

    Evil5, as you have been so lovingly named by your human creator, are a 40th century Battle-Bot who's not only seen a lot of action but has developed a personality all his own. Your multifunction capabilities make you the perfect candidate for almost any purpose. Some of your more signature design specs include a level-8 energy condenser (main weapon) and the newest Hydroplasmalic-Evap technology (your jet-pack).

    Not only can your jet-pack send you shooting into the air, it also makes insanely high speeds on the ground just as possible! Unlimited transport beacons give you the strategic edge that your limited energy chambers do not. You'll find these functions to often be more than just fun...you're gonna need them!

    Level 1 overview:

    In an attempt to prevent any wayward survivors from reclaiming the transport station, the Thydarrons have begun to 'beam down' a series of bombs onto the teleport hubs. Your mission is to disarm these bombs before they EXPLODE, damaging the teleport hubs and making it difficult for the humans to secure the area and impossible for you to ever go home.

    The game play:

    EVIL5 level 1 is a fast paced, race against time! In this mission your not going to be able to get by simply based on how fast you can unload and reload your weapons...there is nothing to shoot at. Your not the hunter, nor are you the hunted. This mission is brains over brawn, and quite a challenge at that. The time limit comes into play as each bomb is set to detonate in 60 seconds! But don't wait until the last minute, these bombs reconfigure themselves, becoming more difficult to disarm with every second you let pass.

    There are 3 pickups that appear randomly as well throughout the game world, 2 of which are essential and another that is simply helpful.

    You will find yourself pacing back and forth between the bombs and the required utilities with which to disarm them...but that is where strategy comes into play and where your beacons come in handy. Simply plant a beacon near a bomb, go get your pickups and then instantly teleport back! If stuff does happen to blow up in your face...and it will...simply go to the nearest repair station where nanotron technology will make you feel all better.

    Bonus points are awarded for disarming them quickly.

    And a special reward awaits those who can rack up enough points to earn higher ranks

    ]]>     10 Mar 2007 05:48:18     Hitler's War This is a PC version of the classic Metagaming/Avalon Hill Boardgame Hitler's War. This mini masterpiece allows players to recreate World War Two in Europe. Players choose the Axis, Soviets or Allies in different scenarios of increasing complexity.
    Operation Barbarossa is the first scenario covering the Axis attack on the U.S.S.R. This scenario serves as an introduction to the game covering movement, combat and production.

    The Fall Of Germany Scenario adds the Allies and rules for Sea Movement, Amphibious Invasions and Forts.

    The two Campaign games cover the entire war from 1939 and add the rest of the rules chiefly Research, Nationality and special units such as Tactical Air and Paratroops.

    The Windows version of the game has hot seat and network play for each of these scenarios. This means 2 or 3 friends can battle it out on the same computer or over a LAN or the internet. There is no AI player or EMail support at present.
    ]]>     04 Mar 2007 06:36:09     My Bogle My Bogle is a small group tactics game, where your characters (called "Bogle", with a long O) engage in strategic and fun combat against online opponents in a variety of game types. It's extremely accessible and yet there's plenty of depth just waiting to be uncovered. It's turn-based play makes it ideal for casual pickup and play and yet the turns are quick and fast paced so as to keep the action moving.

    My Bogle will be launching along side our Friends Play Free invitation service. What that means is that when you buy My Bogle, you'll get to send invitations to your friends and family, who can then download and play the full version of My Bogle online against you anytime they want, without any restrictions. The only caveat is that if they want to play when you're not around, then they'll need to buy the game too. Think of it a bit like Frisbee for Video Games. As long as you own a Frisbee, you can play it with anybody you want, right? You don't think "hey, I wonder if the person I'm throwing this to has a license to catch it." And that way your friends can be exposed to the great game of Frisbee for free (all thanks to you), but they can only play Frisbee when you're around unless they go out and buy one for themselves. Video Games should be more like Frisbee, and that's what Friends Play Free is all about.

    Cloak, Dagger and DNA was developed by Oidian Systems and was planned to be part of a family of games around the theme of genetic algorithms, unfortunately interest was lacking and Oidian went out of business. Since then Don O'Brien (designer of the game) has released it as freeware.
