      Me, who mistakes Manic Miner with Miner 2049er

      It Hurt Itself in Its Confusion!

    I used to play this as a kid before I could read, so I never got far. I’ll definitely be checking this out!

      I could read by the time I was playing it, but I was only 9 or 10 so I sucked at videogames lol. I’m excited to actually play through the whole thing as an adult.

    I’ve been playing the hell out of this game. It’s so addicting. Some levels are actually pretty challenging, I probably would have raged hard as a kid.

      It was really tough as a kid. I never actually beat it because of that. I’m much better at games now, so I’m pretty excited

    I got this as part of a double buy together with Bionicle. I was a huge Bionicle nerd but ended up playing way more of this game. The combination of RTS and decreased focus on combat worked really well for me.

    I am going to play the hell out of this once I get home.

    Omg I remember seeing this was being remade but I’ve purposely not looked at anything beyond that. So excited to give this a try, it was one of the 4 or 5 games I’d play non stop in rotation (partly because I was bad at video games as a kid (not that I’m much better now, I just have less excuses)).

    Oh yes please! Might be nostalgia, but I absolutely loved the original. Will check this out.

    Holy shit, I spent hours playing this as a kid and had completely forgotten about it until now. What a nostalgia trip

    There was a Lego RTS?

      At least two that I know about; I was too young for Rock Raiders when it came out but I played the shit out of Crystalien Conflict in the late 2000’s.

        In the same Boat, Crystalien Conflict was probably one of the first RTS games I ever played - it was either that or the OG Creeper World.
