I always wander why there are no games based on Stargate (SG-1). At least I don't know any. SG-1 can give nice background for FPS, RTS or RPG games !

Maybe because the first half of the game would be really good... and then some one would say... Lets rap this up now... People are thinking out there and enjoying this... Bring in the explosions and and get rid of the story....

does anyone remember an old Amiga game that was based on a turn based/top down view BattleTech game?"
I had an old shareware title called Battlemech, but the floppy it came on got corrupted.

West End Games once had a license for a Stargate tabletop RPG, but the company folded before John Tynes {link} finished writing it.

Sorry, my soccer loving friends, but this is American football. Besides, you have Championship Manager, which might be the very best sports text simulation ever created!

I've been watching WiF ("World in Flames")computer game for about 2 years now.

http://www.a-d-g.com.au/

Go to above site and follow the links to the beta download page. It's starting to look really cool. They're going to release it without an AI opponent in first phase. At least that's the word I heard a while ago.

I have about 5 editions of the board game going back to the mid '80's I used to love it, played solitare for months at a time. My wife hated it though. I had to put it away so we could use the dining room table for Thanksgiving, lol!

That was the game!!! That game kicked, I loved how you could program in all the official FASA mechs from the existing game, I had all the variants and everything in it, was so much fun Thanks much! Also thanks for the links, they look good

Capnq
I think that was the original name, or Battle force, I know they were forced to change the name at some point.
