I have a collection of old C64 games flying around on some of my external drives. Never got to play them. But one day I remembered Deuteros. An old Amiga game. I made it through the whole game back then without knowing English at all. I was so proud back then, I had to pick it up. I couldn't believe it but I played it through all the way again. I really can't say what it was exactly but I guess it was the flashback. The sounds, the graphics and understanding!

I continued with Lure of the Temptress. I only had a buggy version where you couldn't save. I played this with 3 other people. Beginning every Friday. Ending on Sunday... It was fantastic to finally finish it and being able to save.

But if I look at all the games I had back then, most of them are not worth it, but if you seriously look at it: they never were ;)

I totally remember Deuteros. It was riveting. I remember adding more and more stations and bases, I thought I had the game down, and then after deploying a certain number of stations, I triggered a reaction from the aliens and little by little, they started destroying all my empire. I was never able to beat that game.

But what a memory.

Oh ~~ people mentioning Deuteros! That's certainly something I don't see often when people talk about retro games. It was indeed an excellent management game.
