A True Classic of the Strategy Game Genre, too bad Atari bought the title and dumped it

User Rating: 9.3 | Deadlock: Planetary Conquest PC
Through the ages I still look back on my first computer, an old powermac, and I think about the games I use to play and occasionally try to return to my roots on this ol Windows XP machine I'm running. A few games have windows conversions that I spend a good week hunting usually.
I always return to this title, before I played Civ, I played this, this was the classic Turn Based RTS, I loved it and I wish Atari would've done something more with this game. It seems abandoned and lost in all the new graphics and gameplay that today's strategy games have, but the gameplay is still amazing, and I can sit and play it for hours after hours on my own or over LAN with my brother.
The graphics were good for their time, and the races were lovable, from the basic berserking humans to the insect-like Ch'cht, this game should never have been shelved and still lives on in the hearts of the classic gamers. It was probably one of the few games I actually miss having a mac for...
After coming back and running into this on Gamespot I'm actually gonna take a break from my MMO's and my new RTS's and break down and relax, and return to Deadlock for a week or two, if boredom overwhelms you, or if you just are tired of every current game, take a few steps back and return to your roots, classic games like this one deserve respect.
