World War III: Black Gold

[Anathema]

This game kicks ass! Take a look at the screenshots at this site:

and the system requirements, wich are unbelievably low :O

It's cheap too.

It's about a war that breaks out because of an oil crisis. The US and Russia want oil, and they invade Iraq.

PS: it was never released in the Netherlands, I got my copy while I was in Germany :-

i got my copy from the internet lol.

Btw, why would usa invade iraq? iraq has no oil, not much anyway. makes no sense..

shhh, in case Gob hears you. unless you meant you bought it over the net. :-X

[undsputed]

Yea, I think it has been out for about a year......I remember thinking about buying it. It got good ratings also. I think one of the major downs about it was no infantry in the game.

I would still consider it though.

They're not extracting much of it, but Iraq has the second largest oil supply in the world.

[nampigai]

I will not play it....too supersticiuos(sp?)

[Anathema]

According to the manual, it should have begun in 2001 so they were wrong anyway ;)

Is this game available in the US? Looks cool.

[Anathema]

Yes.

[DukeLeto]

Is it called something else? I can't find it...

[Anathema]

No. But it's about a year old, so you may have trouble finding it.

but not so wrong!!!! :)

2003 or 2004 instead of 2001 would be better said.
