I know people ragged on this game for not being Syndicate, but I had a good time with it. Blowing up buildings with nuclear hand grenades was pretty rad.

I always liked quotes The Church of the New Epoch got in the debriefings:
A war refugee sought the Master. He said, "You are wise and serene. Teach me to escape the horrors of this world." And the Master blinded him with fire-irons.

This is one of those games that came out around the jump from Dos to Windows 95 that sort of got caught in the middle, like Ultima 7 and Strike Commander---like, the system requirements called for a computer that could run Win95, but the games themselves only ran under Dos.
I could never get this game to work right, and right now was actually the first time I ever got to see the intro.

poopskin - 2007-10-22 i think you can get it off abandonware sites now; I know you can find the first syndicate, which I suppose is still the superior product. The game that finally forced me get Windows 95 was "Heroes of Might and Magic."
I miss DOS.

Aelric - 2007-10-22 DOS was great. the formative games of my youth were on DOS, and my folks couldn't figure out how to use it, so i got away with playing all kinds of shit they didn't approve of. that is, until one dark day, i played zork nemesis, saw something about custom win95 cut scenes, begged them to upgrade and DOS was officially dead. all for a few extra walking transitional movies.
oh, yeah, the video. umm, well, i never got a chance to play either this or the original syndicate, although i tried with abandonware. never worked right, so three star neutral vote.

bongoprophet - 2007-10-22 For those of you who don't know, there is this great app called DOSbox that emulates DOS almost perfectly.

Only prob is, you need a decent computer to run newer games, for instance System Shock has some slowdowns on my 2.4 P4

glasseye - 2007-10-22 You can tweak dosbox pretty aggressively... The default settings are only good for the oldest games.

Boring. The original Syndicate was vastly superior.

Wow. I had no idea I'd heard that theme music quite so many times.
The Playstation intro was different, IIRC. All space-cars flying around.

Got to admit, tinfoil shouldered trenchcoat wearing psycho-cyborgs ruthlessly gunning down "enlightened" citizens with no regard for collateral damage is downright BADASS.
