Dark Colony [SOLD]
 

anyone has this game? i remember playing different demos from different magazines a long time ago, i found the game so much fun and action-packed, though in the end the aliens ended up overpowering my forces and blowing everything to smitherees :P

one magazine had a custom-made demo mission, something like "The aliens have taken down a craft full of PC Format magazines! You gotta get to them before the aliens do!", I found it so funny finding a crashed spacecraft full of PC Format magazines in the middle of the map, talk about publicity LOL

i think it still being sold, at least acording to Mobygames

Sold Out will sell it to you for a mere five pounds, but I didn't like it personally. There we are though, one person's opinions's shouldn't stop a game being on the site.

incidentally,i own original vers of DC.just need to wait till its abandonware..it cant take long,like ten years

Excuse me for resurrecting, but Oldwarez List say it's Abandonware :D

I enjoyed Dark Colony. Basically a slightly scaled down StarCraft (or a primer for StarCraft). I could do an ISO and manual scan.

What about the expansion pack, The Council Wars? Nothing on Oldwarez List.
