Small Games Sunday (?): Oasis

Again, away later, you get now.


Oasis by Mind Control Software is a must download. It plays like a strategic board game without all the boring stuff and alot of cool features only available on a PC. you play an Egyptian prince who's missed a big fight and your dad's dead. Now it's up to you to scour Egypt for followers, research tools and fight off wave after wave of evil Barbarians. But things aren't easy, the land's een covered in a mysterious fog that only lifts as you explore and the Barbarians thrive when you can't see where they come from. Thankfully building roads and gaining the support of special people (Scouts, Prophets, Architects, etc.) can help you on your journey to becoming the greaest ruler Egypt's ever seen. The full version's $20, a steal for a game this good.
