Chaos Reborn
Anyone remember Chaos: The Battle of Wizards (J.Gollup. ZX-Spectrum. 1985) ?
No ? Made by the same guys behind the original XCOM, its a game I haven't forgot 30 years later, which makes it one of only a handful so memorable. It was great fun, turn based arena battles between up to 8 spellcasters with the full range of spells you'd expect from illusion to conjuration and destruction. It was like a card game with no cards, in fact when I first saw Magic:The Gathering I thought this was Chaos' spiritual successor. Wouldn't impress these days of course, but it & its creators were certainly innovative & challenging, I wouldn't put it past them to do it again.
I've just started looking at it, and theres certainly a few bits standout as novel, of course all game PR reads like shit at the minute, but on past performance I'd say this is one to watch.
And Aye Gilrond, they're doing Linux
