Every so often, the menu theme from this game will suddenly start playing in my head, and I have NO idea why. I barely played it, never even beat a single level, and kind of hated it…but that menu theme endures.

Warlords (1978) by Speakeasy Software (Canada) is AFAIK the second PC wargame ever released (after Tanktics). Multiplayer-only, it's well-designed/coded for such an early game but incredibly dry: think Chess with randomness. Screens from my PBEM AAR below.

I mostly remember the adventure games - Lords of Karma, Empire of the Overmind, which where basically a magic portal to whole new worlds to small me😍
Also... Tanktics? Kind of a hybrid strategy game and physical board game.

I dreamt that I was using a transit app that looked exactly like Tanktics (1999) and woke up with this song in my head

DMA Made all the original Lemmings games, L1, L2 and L3 (and a few ports), GTA 1 and 2 (before turning into Rockstar), HiredGuns, Uniracers, Blood Money, Menace, Body Harvest, Wild Metal Country and Tanktics.
And a few non-DMA ports.

I did indeed sell copies of my two "Indie" games, Tanktics and Legionnaire, to some computer stores, but there were very few such stores. Yes, we all used Ziplock bags. But I emphasize how few of us there were. I sold about 100 copies of Tanktics and 150 copies of Legionnaire.

In the same vein of Tank, the guys who made Lemmings made this sick RTS game called Tanktics which involved building tanks in stacks, so they could have like a regular build or 3 engines or 4 guns, etc. really fun, never heard anyone breathe a word of it

after Lemmings, DMA design made a couple of other excellent games, but also some failures. like Tanktics, a tank builder. i liked the idea, so i applied for a job. they were interested, but told me to wait as some changes were happening.
turns out they became Rockstar Games, and it would take me…

Time for a bonus stream, this time we're going back to a game released in 1999 called Tanktics by DMA Design. This should be a bit of fun! twitch.tv/ZephyrFloofy... #vtuber #vtlive #goinglive #furrylive #streamer #twitchlive
