The lore of this game seems to be that after a massive asteroid hit earth, dinosaurs, elves, dwarfs, wizards and zombies somehow appeared in a post apocalyptic earth.

A bit campy, but could make for a fun setting and narrative experience.

Anyone here remember microprose soccer?

A) i wanted to play as a dinosaur
B) I wanted them to look like murder chickens.

Yup, especially the sliding tackles in rain. Although my favourite Microprose game was Sid Meier's Pirates! Airborne ranger was good too.

I remember hearing about that one, but I never played it myself.

For me MicroProse will always be associated with publishing Pizza Tycoon.

Pretty niche association, but I discovered Civilization and 4X much later and I've never played the original Railroad Tycoon even though I like railroad management game genre.

Karyo that's crazy. You must be younger, friend. Microprose invokes thoughts of Wing Commander, and Master of Orion, and Civ/Col. I actually get a little apprehensive about their name usage now because their product has been decidedly weaker for some time now. But that's perhaps not fair to them as I haven't tried all their latest offerings.

I'm probably way older, I remember Microprose from their flight simulators like Gunship and F19 stealth fighter.

The thing with 4x/Civ is that I only got into the genre in university (via Civ 3 although Civ 4 was out for a few years), even though as kid I played all types of games of different genres (back then any time you got access to a game, you just powered through it).

So I am probably not that much younger! :)

MicroProse is definitely legendary and not only because of Civilization/Master of Orion/Master of Magic, they also made X-COM, Transport Tycoon (in addition to Railroad Tycoon); foundational releases for their respective genre/styles.

It is a big achievement to develop a whole new genre and launch the penultimate series in said genre (Civilization and 4X); doing this several times is worthy of respect.

Like dead headless chickens or like chicken who have no issues with ending lives?
