The Best Implementation of the Classic Game | Submitted by costik on Mon, 05/21/2007 - 05:05. |
An oldie-but-goodie, Risk II was implemented by Microprose, before they were taken over by Hasbro, passed onto Atari, and gutted... Still the best digital implementation of the classic boardgame. If you like this kind of game, do also check out Lux Delux.
An award-winner at least year's IndieCade and a 2011 IGF Nuovo Award Finalist, The Cat and the Coup is a small physics puzzler.
Each level represents a stage in the career of Mohammad Mossadegh, the democratically elected prime minister of Iran who was overthrown in a CIA-orchestrated coup in 1953. Or rather, each level is a small physics puzzle in which you, as Mossadegh's cat, must do something to advance the game to the next level; the actions you take, their effect on the scene, and the response of Mossadegh is wholly unrelated to the supposed nature of the events that the scene ostensibly represents.
