Retro game fans! I've started a new series looking at old shit and seeing if they work with swanky modern shit!
I made this!
I'm up for critisism, what i could do better, any more information i could add etc.

It was fun at the time, but still a clunky, buggy mess. Startopia was much better.
My lasting memories of Evil Genius are probably 50% staring at the map screen waiting for minions to run to the boat and 50% tediously tagging wave after wave of do-gooders for death because the social minions did bugger all to keep them away.
The sequel fixed a lot of the really annoying things but traps were still fucking useless.
You could do Alien vs Predator next. I think at one point it was impossible to play because everyone had 64 bit processors, the game was 32 bit (which was fine), but the installer was 16 bit so you couldn’t install it.

gotta admit i've never played Evil Genius 2 yet, never heard great things about it
AVP2 is a great shout, though! memories of me and my mates lugging our giant early naughties tower PC's to my rich mate's house to play mutliplayer LAN of that game.
I hate being old.

EG2 is a worthy sequel.
Fixed a lot of the really irritating things about the first one and added some of its own, but they’ve since patched most of them out. Traps are still useless though. That said you can recruit the Pyro from TF2 as a henchman, which is nice.
The first AvP mark you. The one where playing as the Alien gave you instant motion sickness when you climbed walls.
