I played Z in 98 or so!! I loved it!
Always got time for shoutouts to the Bitmap Brothers
Oh my ! That’s cool.
I played this so many years ago
That was an underrated game. Fun addictive gameplay and good humor.
Wasn’t there gonna be a sequel at some point in the last 15yrs? I swear I read about it somewhere. Loved the original tho.
me and my brother loved that game
The first game I remember where the barks were context-sensitive. Command your grunts to attack a heavy tank? “Are you SERIOUS?!”
Also! Vehicles were driven by actual units; You could snipe those out and replace them with your own troops. I may be misremembering, but the vehicle actually changed behaviour slightly depending on which troops you had drive it (like basic grunts sometimes took dumb routes, snipers had better aim, and so).
Also, it was *hard as balls*. Never finished it, I think I got stuck in one of the jungle maps.
Brutal! I really love to explore games and see what random stuff they have, turns out every game is full of easter eggs most people won’t understand
Yeah, never got far, but it was pretty great. Had it in a games collection.
Holy shit I forgot this existed, I vaguely remember a reboot happening aswell that I could actually play, the first ones used to kick my ass . Thanks for the nostalgia trip
Ramrod
He kinda looks like Joe Pineapples of the ABC Warriors comic series
I can only remember the box art
Nice. Z was great!
