Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 22 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I was looking forward to playing this game again but right out of the gate it doesn't work. Installed the patch and messed with the capabilities, I got it to prompt me to ask for the CD to play the game :/
Sadly, I have been able to play this game only on one of my two computers, and then without the very enjoyable background music, which has refused to play on any modern system I've tried to play any version of this game on since about 2010. A tragic but probably unavoidable consequence of trying to return to a game this old. Still, even playing in eerie silence (there are also no sound effects, in or out of combat, with the only sound that plays at all being the little chat video clips of the alien mouthpieces), this early RTS is still very enjoyable to those of us with a nostalgic attachment to it; there may be better games, but this one's unique charm has never been duplicated.

a wonderful game if you can get it running
you will have to change it for win xp..
Ive played this as a kid and still enjoy it to this day ya its a underrated classic but i love it wish they would do a reboot on it
There's an easy fix to get the game to work on newer systems, don't believe reviewers who say otherwise. All you have to do is rename a file that only affects multiplayer (which you won't get to use anyway). It's $1.74 on sale and it's an absolute classic, just get it. I first heard about this game in a decades old pro review of Civilization 2 gold and that's still the only time I've ever heard of it somehow. I can't think of a better turn based strat game from back then except obv Civilization. Oh, it's a real challenge too, even on the easiest difficulty setting I bet you'll lose your first try.
Nice old game. Like the complexity of the materials.
The game doesn't start after the intro. It is not working
As others have stated, it either doesn't work, or you have to do some file manipulation that "might" work. But that fix isn't guaranteed, and you also don't get all the game sounds or music. Save your money.
