Anyhow, I thought I would drop a line regarding Zillions. The package comes with over 200 games and puzzles, so it is a good value that way also. Again, my posting this message is only because I like the product, because I have no associations with the company that makes it. I am looking to port some of my games I created over to the product. It looks like the ideal product for designing abstract strategy games with for Net play, or solitaire puzzles.
Zillions is a tremendous program.
I love games like MOM, HOMM, Stars, Warlords, etc., but Zillions is really the program I've been waiting for my whole life. In anutshell, imagine Quake 2, but imagine you could turn Quake 2 into a flightsim. Zillions is amazing. The graphics are very attractivge, and the game plays an amazingly strong game, even of games it hasn't played before. I don't know how they did it, but I'd say it's a work of genius.
