PC Strategy Games issue 3 (June 2000)

Another issue of this rare specialist publication, scanned for the first time. (I researched and wrote an article summarising everything we know about this magazine and another related one; if you're curious, learn more about PC Strategy Games.)

In this issue:

  • Is the single-player game about to become a thing of the past? Catch up on this new 'online gaming' thing and the connectivity innovation that makes it possible, which—of course—is flat-rate dialup.
  • Martin Croft interviews Demis Hassabis, back when he was a guy making interesting simulation-based computer games like Republic: The Revolution, and not... y'know... the Demis Hassabis.
  • Do RPGs count as strategy games? Two writers weigh in on opposite sides, but the real winner is 'for purposes of filling this magazine's page count, they do'.
  • Reviews include Battlezone II, Earth 2150, the timeless classic Thief 2: The Metal Age and, last but least, Airport Inc.
