Sometimes, a lot of these strategy games even incorporate roleplaying elements into their design (take X-COM for example).
Yeah, the pixelated graphics and janky UI can be annoying for some (not to mention compatibility issues with modern hardware).īut once you get past all of that, what lies in front of you is an awesome experience built entirely around tactical decision-making. Trust me, the gameplay and storytelling provided by these retro games will keep you hooked and coming back for more. Most of the games I have listed are either abandonware or available for a couple of bucks on sites like GOG. You can easily create a DOSBox emulation folder with all 30 of these games inside and not even notice the loss of space on your computer. Or play all of them, it’s not like modern gaming where each game takes up 50+ GB on your hard drive. This list contains everything from turn-based war simulation to 4X strategy, so take your pick. Upon arrival at the derelict station, you find out that it’s populated with hostile aliens known as Genestealers.
You are commanding a Space Marine squad that is investigating distress signals coming from one of these space hulks. Space Hulks are derelict objects drifting around in space, usually the size of a large space station. Do you love the Warhammer 40K games? Well, this one is based within the same universe.
