YS, just look at the game 'Tales of Middle Earth', on abandonia reloaded, is that the style of graphics you were talking about??

e.g @= Player

I got a strategy game called "Survival". It's from year 1996
and was developed by C-Design and published by Interactivision.

Quote:
Survival is a strategy game based about a 125 years after a devastating nuclear
war which destroyed most of the planet. You are in charge of a small group of
survivors that have been living in a bunker all of their lives.

The systems have eventually worn out and failed so when the life sustaining
equipment finally gave up the only option was to go back to the surface.

When you arrived on the surface you discovered that the world had changed
significantly from the one described in the stories, the radiation level was
high but it could be tolerated, there were huge packs of hungry mutants wandering
the landscape, and there was little in the way of resources.

So all that was left to do was to explore the world that you found yourself in,
set up habitations, protect your people from the mutants, and other foes, and
try to build a new civilisation.

To do all this there is one basic task, one that will not be easy, and that task
is to take your people into the world and then to work towards Survival.

To complete Survival you will need to take your people through all of the trials
of life in a dangerous and radioactive environment, exploring everything,
defeating all your foes, and building a new solid civilisation that will face the
future ready for anything.
I haven't found very much info around the net.

It can be arranged, if the mods approve the game. But is
this a request? Should it be in the Requests section?

Siren, is that a game or did you randomly write it?
Nevermind its not an old game.

I haven't played any other older survival games.
