\"Chaos<\/a><\/p>\n

Ok, even if this is a space\/sci-fi\/fantasy strategy games blog, many of you reading the site probably never heard of a game called Rebelstar, a turn-based sci-fi tactics title for ZX Spectrum from the 80’s. Or, you’re simply not that old :) Or, you probably never heard of a game called Chaos: The Battle of Wizards either, a fantasy turn-based tactics title also from the 80’s, and for ZX Spectrum as well. But, there’s another turn-based tactics game from the 90’s that I’m positive all of you are familiar with, or at least have heard about. X-COM: UFO Defense (aka UFO: Enemy Unknown).<\/p>\n

What do all of these games have in common? They were designed and mostly developed by the same person, Julian Gollop, a game designer I have profound admiration and respect for. And, these were titles that, and I’m sure many of you can relate to this,\u00a0had a decisive influence in my gaming life. Julian has been developing other games since then, some of them variants of his past work, also some new titles, but usually all turn-based or tactical in nature. His latest project is a remake of the original Chaos: The Battle of Wizards game called Chaos Reborn<\/a>. Julian says it’s “part sequel, part re-imagining of that original game brought up-to-date with high quality presentation”.<\/p>\n
