The game may not be the best real-time strategy game on the market, or the most challenging in terms of AI, but it's got more than enough personality and charm to keep you entertained.Product type OS Vendor Microsoft Release date 1993 Minimum CPU 8088 Minimum RAM 512KB Minimum free disk space 6MB User interface Text Platform DOS Download count 1353 (32 for release) Downloads Download name Overall, if you enjoy Cannon Fodder 2 or want a not-so-serious version of Command & Conquer, Z is a must-have. Although the robots do not have distinct personalities as the mercenaries in Jagged Alliance do, they nevertheless are well-caricatured and always funny to watch in action. The single-player campaign is excellent, and features a lot of hilarious cutscenes and voices (unfortunately missing from this CD-rip version). Z includes a good number of multiplayer options, including serial or modem link, or with up to four players using the network-play feature. You will dodge earth-shattering explosions, complete with shrapnel and flying debris, and forge through 20 levels of gameplay on five deadly planets while capturing the arms, factories and radar installations of your enemies.
Featuring an army of crude cyborg soldiers, led by the order-barking Commander Zod, Z puts players on the front lines of a futuristic battle with an army of undisciplined, beer drinking robots with attitudes. What sets Z apart from other C&C clones, though, is the great sense of humor that adds a lot of personality to the game. The game also contains some bugs, although none of which is game-stopping. In reality, unfortunately, the game's AI is not that advanced, and often even makes silly mistakes. This means that the computer supposedly actually responds to the player's moves and changes its strategy accordingly.
Z was advertised as "the first game in the combat strategy genre to feature an advanced artificial intelligence system that reacts to the player's moves in real-time, not to a pre-set mission strategy". A Command & Conquer clone that was much less successful than it deserved, Z is as notable for being the only real-time strategy game from action game masters at Bitmap Brothers as being a very innovative title- and very funny to boot.
