X-COM Interceptor is the third in the X-COM series, following on around 17 years after the events in X-COM: Terror from the Deep. The previous X-COM offerings have been pure strategy games, with the aim being to manage an Alien Defence Base, researching new technology, building new bases, recruiting staff, and fighting off the alien invaders.

X-COM Interceptor is in a similar mold, in that there still is a strong strategy element involved. However, now you not only have to run the X-COM defence forces, you also have to get personally involved in the nitty gritty of the combat.

THE Ardennes Offensive, or Battle of the Bulge as it is more widely known, was Hitler’s last gamble at winning World War II. At the end of 1944, the Allies were pushing towards Germany’s frontiers on the Western Front, while the Soviet army was steamrolling towards Berlin from the east.

In Caesar II you are the Governor of a Roman Province, starting out in 300BC. You have to develop the Province up to an acceptable standard before you can move on to the next Province, which will be more difficult but more rewarding. Eventually, you hope to conquer and develop enough Provinces that you will become Caesar!
There are two connected parts to Caesar II. Probably the main part is the building up of the Provincial capital city. You start out on a bare plain beside a river, and you must develop this into a huge bustling metropolis. In a few years, your city should have a population of a few thousand, and such amenities as Gardens, Temples, Baths, Aqueducts, and Theatres.

Of-course all of this costs money, and you only have a small fund in the treasury to start with. Your two main sources of income are population tax, and industry tax. Population tax is gathered from the population of the city, so any city-improving feature that will attract new dwellers will help. Industry tax is gathered from businesses that have set up in the city.
