I find it interesting how most of the entries were old-school. There's still room to do another contest featuring newer ones like you've posted, Avro.

The game I entered I think was the newest on the list.

I had pegged it as older than that, but then again, I don't really play strategy games. I thought it looked like a cool video for an older game. Could also be down to the art style as it does look retro in a way.

Yeah, it does have a retro feel to some of the graphics, but PA is I think only three years old now and I would have preferred a moon smashing into a planet (which you can do) but couldn't find a good enough GIF and didn't have time to make one myself.

Thanks for the votes!

I'll post a new contest with all due haste!
