Advantages: very cheap

Disadvantages: hard to find, old graphics

The traditional "get minions and use them to beat the bad guys" sort of game, but with a twist, the bad guys are the good guys and the good guys are the bad guys. You take the form of a big hand that goes around the map slapping things and dropping your creatures near the enemy to kill them. With several types of minions and more than fifteen rooms there is plenty here. The graphics may not be great but in games like this it?s the gameplay that counts.

Thanks to slinky steve for his comment, I will talk about the plot in more detail, the main goal in the game is to fight your way through 20 levels to reach the avatar, the big boss of the good guys and,well, kill him. the levels are all of the same sort, mie money from the gold or gems in the walls, get a lot of creatures, train them, pay them on payday and kill everything on the map that's not yours, but some levels you don't have a training room or bridges and you have to find inventive ways to kill the enemy. You can't however kill the oppostion just by killing all his creatures, you have to destroy his dungeon heart, the thing that allows him to control his creatures. If your dungeon heart is destroyed, you die so you have to guard it well.

This game's lifespan is nuts, I got this game three years ago, and I am still playing it, even though I have sacrifice, Rune, Earth 2150, RA2, a whole bucketload of new games I still play this game, If you still play a game regularly after three years, I think that proves how good a game it is.
