An interesting little game, this! Mega Lo Mania is a real-time strategy game that borrows elements from the likes of Populous, power Monger and Sim City, in which you must advance your civilisation from the stone age through classical, medieval, industrial, modern ages and finally into the futuristic age, balancing your resources and mining a variety of elements whilst developing new weapons that include crossbows, catapults, cannons, machineguns, tanks, planes, nukes and even UFOs. The game maps consist of a number of separate sectors, in each of which you can build structures such as mines, labs and factories whilst guarding them with troops or alternately launching ...  Read the complete review

I remember when there was a rash of what are basically god-simulators finding their way onto the shelves. mega Lo Mania was one such of these and stood up well against strong competition from other similar games such as Populous and Sim-city.

The game is split up into Epochs; each Epoch is split up into a further three islands. As you progress ...  Read the complete review

I never played megalomania for years mainly due to the head front cover and the fact it didn't look interesting which to my surprise I was amazed when a friend of mine hired it out and we both were hooked on it. I played this game on the snes format as well and it is exactly identical to this version as well. The idea of the game is you start as prehistoric men and create weapons and other technology through learning and mining with the end result being that you defeat the opposing side. The prehistoric people advance in civilisation age as your technology and weaponry improves so you technically start the game in a mud hut 2000bc and can end up in the late ...  Read the complete review
