Enemy Nations was a very highly-rated RTS from '97, but I've never met anyone who's actually played it. It's freeware now (http://www.enemynations.com/index.html) and the developer makes enterprise software these days. I guess it doesn't really hold up nearly 15 years later, but I always enjoyed playing it.

holy poo poo i played this for hours on end when i was ten years old

it gives you a great feeling of setting up and expanding your colony on an unknown planet, and the economic system was surprisingly sophisticated, but the enemy AI is totally broken and either rushes you right at the beginning or does nothing at all

i remember taking a really long time to place my rocket ship to make sure it was close to both coal/iron deposits and forests. it was one of those weird games that was light-years ahead of its time but at the same time was pretty much broken

i bet none of you ever even heard of Aztec, a nineties russian RTS where you could play as alternate-history aztecs, russians or asians



i played this so much even though it's objectively probably not very good

Probably around 1999-2000 I used to play this space strategy game that I really loved but have never been able to find since. It was the sort where you could colonize planets, build armies and stuff, it was hard as poo poo though and I always lost. I didn't even have the full version. :( Wish I could find it again

imperium galactica?
