Story:The collapse of Robert Maxwell's Mirrorsoft empire in late 1991 had disasterous effects on the UK computer games market, as the Mirrorsoft and Imageworks labels published some great games not long beforehand. UbiSoft stepped in to buy the rights to these two, and issued them as a great-value double pack.
Mega Lo Mania was an original strategy game with an evolutionary theme and distinct humour, as you battled with 3 other would-be Gods for control of 27 territories before facing the final Mother of All Battles.
First Samurai was an arcade adventure set in medieval Japan, with your character aiming to avenge the killing of his master.Show more

The music at the start of the game brings chills every time i hear it. The gameplay with its time slow or speed up mechanics mAkes it really challenging. The evolution of your structures is pleasing and hearing the iconic 'they've nuked us' is still a blast. Such unusual gameplay must be preserved. As for the samurai, graphics, music and playability makes it a worthy candidate for a vote.
Mega-lo-mania was one of the first games I played using the mouse on the MS-DOS! It is the oldest tower defense ever, as far as I remember! I spent hours and hours developing my civilization and attacking others!
The best part was the huge difference it made developing your people's tech: sometimes you would attack an enemy with airplanes, when all they had to defend themselves were bows and arrows!

Total War is the follow on from 2000’s Shogun- Total War. As with Shogun the game is split into two sections – the turn-based campaign map wherein the player is required to make strategic decisions, recruit and move armies, besiege settlements, fight naval battles and employ agents such as emissaries, spies and assassins to aid with diplomacy, offer alliances or bribes, or execute rather more clandestine actions.
Religion is important in the game and whether a faction is Muslim, Orthodox or Christian will affect allegiances and public loyalty – as a catholic nation the player must carry out the wishes of the Papal States, embarking on a holy war if need be or else run the risk of excommunication. If public order and loyalty should fall too low in a particular region a rebellion or a civil war may occur – in these situations the player may decide to side with the rebels or the current rulers to quell the rebellion or overthrow a tyrannous regime-Fantasy Historical Warfare 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate)
