Summary: The best strategy game collection ever!
Review: If you can find a copy of this, =get= it. I bought it (twice)for a high price and a low price. It's a great value either way,and a good choice for the casual gamer (who doesn't mind getting hopelessly addicted).

The original Civilization is here, as is Heroes of Might and Magic (I). Both of these games are =still= more addictive and playable than 98% of games released. In addition, you get Conquest of the New World Deluxe, the first X-Com and Railroad Tycoon (all on one CD). All of these games are classics; most have had successful sequels. (But Heroes of Might And Magic I, in particular, is still as playable as, and a pleasant break from its sequels.)

On top of that you get three other CDs with Jagged Alliance, M.A.X and Dark Colony. Dark Colony is both the newest the least inspired of this auspicious group (and the hardest to get working) but it still has some very cool features.

Get it while you can folks. END

Summary: Excelent package worth the price
Review: WOW, this package has very interesting games, but I would buy it to play X-com ufo (principally). It's a great game REALLY!!!! I loved it so much I played it everyday, it's a classic, one of the greatest games ever made and a must have for any PC gamer, old or young. Don't worry about graphics, you'll be amazed only by it's addiction, and the only problem may be that most computers today have a wavetable soundcard, which won't sound the same as the original OPL3(Adlib, yamaha synthetiser), X-com for example, without sound and music by the OPL3, it will not be the same, and you will not jump from your sit after the scaring appearance of an alien shoting his gun. If you're going to buy this package, I really recomend you to get a Creative SoundBlaster ISA Awe 32 or older :-) (or any other compatible card like the Cmi 8378 or 8330 or any other that has a yamaha syth inside, OPL3 or adlib) that's the way it should be! :-)
