Amongst the various strategy games that released in 1989, somehow this one found its way to me. I had played SimCity and given Populous a shot, but somehow a disk got passed to me with Gold of the Americas. I played this one for years over and over, and I never really explored more in the genre until many years later. This particular game has good balance, and it doesn't go on forever. It manages to teach the player something about the colonial era even if that something is from a very specific perspective. It's a good game and definitely worth playing again.

Trapped within the sprawling metropolis is the city's helpless populace, forced to turn on each other in order to survive. A mysterious piece of technology, the COMP, falls into the hands of you and your peers. This device allows you to form contracts, forcing demons to serve you in battle against the otherworldly creatures. There are others with COMPs, so-called demon tamers, who seek to use the demons to satisfy their own whims-be they for justice, peace, or power-in the chaos that was once downtown Tokyo. Where did the demons come from? Why did they appear? Who created the COMPs, and what is their purpose? These questions must soon be answered, for if you fail to solve the mystery, much more is at stake than your own lives.
