PC Strategy Games issue 4 (July 2000)

The last scan of this rare title for now. (I researched and wrote an article summarising everything we know about this magazine; if you're curious, learn more about PC Strategy Games.)

In this issue:

• Mark Shaw pays a visit to an up-and-coming French company called Ubi Soft — probably best known at the time for Rayman — not to play one of their upcoming games, but because they're the distributor for Everquest in Europe.
• Star Wars, Dune, the upcoming Lord of the Rings movies... the editors look at PC game licensing. "If it's on at the cinema or running on TV, chances are someone, somewhere, is working on a PC game based on it."
• Mike Siggins bemoans the lack of originality in games a quarter-century ago and tries to explain the publisher herd mentality.
• Reviews include Shogun: Total War, Star Trek: Armada and the almost forgotten XCOM-like Shadow Watch.
