Brigador ost in the bg makes me wish for a game in this genre where you're a NEP loyalist commander in a Broadsword defending and building orbital guns

It took me a minute to be sure but I actually did play this when it came out, which speaks to its (un)memorability. “Way back when”, “decades ago” - please just say the year so I can still pretend I’m not a fossil 😢

Seems like it's a bundle of great ideas, but require a good execution. Hope indie/AA devs "borrow" ideas from it.

This does indeed look awesome given its age, I love the design of the tank, yeah some how the first game seems more appealing, but its nice to know they're both on gog, getting old games to run on modern systems is such a pain, so I welcome gog releases, I'll check them out for sure, good review.

I remember at least one of these being rated in local magazine as average, and it absolutely didn't stand out to me at the time in any way. But I would love to see this concept modernized and resurrected - I am not aware of anything close to this kind of core gameplay being released these days, and it's a shame - we have tons of retro shooters, but they mostly ape that one style that's popular.

Yeah, I think it's easy for smaller devs to stick to a formula. A similar story is Supreme Commander, very fun gameplay and mechanics, yet people are still waiting for a good successor.

Never played Uprising, but I grew up playing Urban Assault, even today I could boot it up and have fun playing it like it was my first time. Anything comparable is definitely worth a try!

Oh, that's great. While the title and cover vaguely ring a bell, I had thought Battlezone was the only contender of its genre (aside from one much later C&C title, interestingly). And I recently tried to actually play through Battlezone 1+2 (as a kid I only played the demos (maybe a few missions in "another way), and was blown away nonetheless ), but found it doesn't hold up very well, mainly due to a very rough mission design that feels like it wasn't playtested much. One has to everything in extremely short order and just right (and the AI is terrible, too, btw), so there is very little consideration, exploration or experimentation allowed. It just doesn't feel natural as a consequence and is even super annoying. Sometimes things just don't work at all somehow. It reminds me of doing a quick editor-concept and never doing much playtesting if everything feels nice, and the timings are natural and fair etc. It's a bit of an amateurish issue, in my opinion, or like they rushed things or just didn't care that much. It's the best I can explain it right now. And like other very old RTS, it requires an ludicrous, excessive amount of micromanagement too. (Like C&C1, where everything goes down in friendly fire, or troops don't gather correctly, etc, if one doesn't do insane micromanagement that should be unnecessary. It doesn't even necessarily risk success, but tends to look horrible and frustrating. In other games, like StarCraft, things are way smoother and more like an actual "game", for lack of a better word.) I did also do part of a run of Homeworld, an older, experimental RTS series that got a recent sequel, and it does hold up pretty well. The mission design is quite interesting in parts (though rather tough nonetheless), and it even feels a bit like a roguelike in continuation. It creates a very interesting feeling, which Battlezone also does in parts, but ultimately scraping against its crude mission design, in my opinion.

I love these games. I've played through them probably half a dozen times apiece between my old CDs and the GOG release. One thing though the PS1 game Uprising X isn't a port its a third game seemingly set in an alternate universe to the PC games. Uprising series spoilers ahead.... In Uprising X you start out fighting the Imperium like in the first PC game but you eventually form an alliance with a more technologically advanced alien race the Xaja. Then as the Empire is defeated the Xaja turn against the rebellion and you spend the rest of the game fighting them. In the PC games no aliens appeared until the second game with their presence, if you can call it that, in the first game being limited to the backstory. In the past the military had used the threat of an alleged hostile alien force as a justification to launch a coup creating the Empire.

I received it as a birthday gift when I was 9. It came in a cubic cardboard box with sick art (including the dude in white camo from the video thumbnail). Never managed to get far because I was a kid and English was not my primary language. I also remember that if you inserted the cd in a sound system it would play the soundtrack.
