In this game you will design and build your own evil lair, recruit and train loyal minions, and terrorize the world until they submit to your power. Being evil was never so much fun despite some minor annoyances. The graphics are cartoonish, but fit the campy concept of the game perfectly and some of the animations are downright hilarious. The sound effects and music are also a great compliment and work well with the theme. There were some crash to desktop bugs in the original release, but they have been addressed in a recent patch. You will start the game on a remote island that you will convert into your base of operations. This is where the fun begins. As you progress through the game you will gain new rooms, items, henchmen, and specialized minions that will aid you in you quest. The "governments" of the world will not sit idly by and let you take over the world. They will send investigators, sabotuers, soldiers, and James Bond type super-agents in an effort to stop you. You can devise various traps to kill them, capture and interrogate them, or your minions can "weaken" them, sending them home before they find out your evil plans. If you can be devious enough and keep your "heat" down, you can build the ultimate doomsday weapon and bring the world to its knees, swearing alliegance to you. You will be playing and enjoying this original game for hours on end. It is truly addictive and has endless possibilites and replay value. Get this game today!
