[Bugamn] Moonbase Commander
I'm trying to remember a game I played over the LAN with some friends. It was a turn-based 4X type of game where each player had a time limit to use their limited number of actions. I recall my friend bought the license so it was shareware.
The mechanics I remember are: - Each player starts with a power source - Need to build other units and connect them to a power source - The distance is very important, but you didn't directly place units. You sort of "launched" them somehow - Can set up spherical shields - One of the weapons was a nuclear bomb It was played on terrain, but I thought it was space-themed. The graphics were abstract and not photo-realistic. I think the game was played on a triangle grid, but it could have also been diamond grid, square grid, or hexes. I think it was completely flat, but there might have been some basic height fields. When did you play the game? - early 2000s, but game already seemed kind of "old" by then What computer did it run on? - IBM and compatibles What operating system did the computer run? - Windows - could have been a DOS game that ran in Windows What were the graphics like? - at least 256 color - VGA, SVGA, SXGA? Don't remember exactly - 2D - Abstract art What was the music like? - not PC Beeper Were there speech? - not that I remember What was the gameplay like? - 4X TBS Which perspective were you given there? - Top-down, Third Person, isometric pseudo-3D (2.5D) |
Would it be Moonbase Commander, or at least seem similar? I think this game also involves lauching buldings.

The name instantly rang a bell, but I don't know if I would have recognized it from the screen shots~ much different than I remembered it... |
