Hey everybody I would like to introduce my all time favourite game called Urban Assault. It is a Strategy/Action That allows first person mode and Strategy mode. (you build army and send them to attack) I have played this game since I was 3 or 4 almost everyday all day. Sadly my disc broke when I was like 10. But I now have the iso and can play the game again.

Urban Assault Ghorkov Mod. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhLOvTTnd38&feature=related
Anyways this is an amazing game with atleast 25+ levels to beat if you go on gamespot it only got about 6.5/10 but every user review is 9/10+. There are 6 factions in the game to play as here are them all. You play as the resistance but mods have been made to let you play as other factions.
Resistance
"The Resistance needs you..."
Ghorkovs
"A monolithic opposition force predating the Toxic age..."
Taerkastens
"A fanatical human brotherhood; technology has passed them by in their monastic isolation..."
Mykonians
"A merciless alien race bent on torture and termination of humanity..."
Sulgogars
"A vegetative species of bionic alien, their powers reside in biotechnology, genetic manipulation and cloning..."
Black Sect
"A mysterious horde of scavengers, pirates and mercenaries..."
This game can be modified to a great extent because you can edit all of the programs files. allowing you to pretty much do anything to the game. The game takes place just a bit later than 2100. Where the humans have destroyed the o-zone layer and now two alien races have attacked earth and humans have split into four faction to conquer earth there are no allies only your own faction. It faction has a host station that is their primary base/fortress unit that can build unit and buildings. You lose if it is destroyed. Every teams main resource is energy that is sicked from the ground to build artificial machine tanks and such. You build power stations that harvests the energy from the earths core to your host station which allows it to build units to destroy other host stations. Don't expect something like Supreme Commander because this game was made in 1998 but hey don't be let down when was LOZ made.
Here is a link to a small but active forum dedicated to modding and playing Urban assault. forums.metropolisdawn.com/ See they even got a .com for their site.
Here is a tutorial on how to get the game...
1. Download The urban assault iso here. metropolisdawn.com/files/index.php?dir=%2Fgame/iso
2. Save it to a place you will remember.
3. Download Daemon tools lite here. disc-tools.com/download/daemon
4. Save, install daemon tools and then an icon should appear on the bottom right program bar.
5. to start game go to the deamon tools icon then left click. virtual CD/DVD-ROM > Device 0: [ F:] Empty > Mount Image > Then click on the urban assault iso where ever it is.
6. Now install the game with the full version for best performance then restart your system.
7. start the same way you did before but instead of saying install it will say play game click that and away you go.
8. when you get to main menu go to options and under Direct 3D Device: it should say software change it to Primary Display Driver or else game is hella laggy. Now play!
Modding: here is a link to modify the game please I recommend you beat it once through first. If you are ever stuck on a level say and I'll write a tutorial for it trust me I have beaten the game way more times than you can count. mod link: www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/63440/30582
Also if you decide to mod and you click save on a file bit it comes up with any error message move the file to my documents and then mod/save then move it back.
Okay so everybody try it out and have fun plus there is a helicopter patch on gamespot because they get really screwed up where they just fly in circles.
