Yep, said it was easy. :p
Dungeon Keeper 95 Gold is still one of my favorite games ever. War for the Overworld, after v2, is now actually a pretty good game that is similar/new take.

I'm sorry I don't know what you mean. The two are the same, unless there was two versions of Cataclysm. Emergence didn't change a thing about the game.

In the origional, you were a mining captain. Your ship and fleet were "non military". Thats the griity part. The awesome part for me was the flexibility of the units. YOU could combine different units to fufil different roles at a time and then split them again to their origional components.

Well I haven't played the game so wouldn't know. All I know is that Emergence and Cataclysm are exactly the same games.

Though it uses the same engine as its predecessor, several changes were made such as: the ability to toggle time compression between normal speed and eight times faster; ship upgrades (improving armor and adding new abilities), Command Ships and Carriers are given the ability to add external modules for ship research and fleet support; fuel was completely eliminated from the game and finally the sensor display could be used to issue attack orders to units. The player's Command Ship is now capable of attack; though slow, the Command Ship is capable of delivering a vast array of weaponry, most notably the Siege Cannon capable of crippling an enemy Command Ship with a single well aimed shot.
Notable unit changes include the Processor, Cataclysm's adaptation of the Resource Controller, which has medium-strength weapons to defend itself, automated repair beams to heal nearby ships and four pads to dock with Workers harvesting resources. The game's resource collectors perform the same functions that they did in the original Homeworld, however, when upgraded they can be used to capture enemy vessels, harvest crystals and repair friendly vessels; functions that were carried out by separate, single-function ships in the first game.
The game also introduced new 3D features such as moving parts and transforming ships.
In general, the main difference is the scale of fleets. WhereHomeworld was biased towards large fleets (as the player's main ship was a full-fledged mothership and the opposition was an empire of galactic scale), Cataclysm down-scales the fleets (as the player's main ship is a simple mining vessel and the adversaries are all limited in resources)

Good synopsis.

Ok so you're talking about the original Homeworld and Emergence/Cataclysm? Both are still available. The original Homeworld as well as the sequel in both the remastered and classic versions.

Will... one day. Bought it on both GOG and cd. Right now I have a game to track down. Seems it's going to be watching old reruns of Tekkies.

It was Space Quest 3, in the junk ship. You needed the ladder to steal the power coupling, and then proceed to get beaten up by a bunch of rats who steal it back.

Trying to recall name of game I used to enjoy playing in late 90s early 2000s IIRC, trucks that mined ore on some barren rocky planet and then you used the ore to build more and more advanced military technology...all the while being attacked by hordes of comp gen enemy using same technology as you. The aim was to take over the planet completely...

Yes I know it sound like pretty much any other game from that era...except the graphics were actually rather compelling and far more realistic than the other stuff out on the market at the time.

Wouldn't mind having a spin or 2 again IF and once I can find an emulator and the software online.

Wasn't Dune btw...:cool:

Not a screen of my own but fired up my copy last night. Guys that made this game had some coo-coo clocks in the head.

This one might be a little difficult, I have very little memory of any the levels and it would be quite a good few years old, but here is goes.
Its a 3rd person shooter where at the beginning of the mission you choose 1 of 2 characters. You could choose either a "ninja" like character that had less powerful weapons, but could become invisible for short periods to sneak around enemies, or you could choose the big army character with the big muscles and guns. With the army guy, I seem to remember a level in a flooded building where you had to go back and forth collecting ammo and killing enemies and the ninja had a level on a train.
