Line 1: {{work}} '''''Z''''' (pronounced Zed) is a 1996 [[Real Time Strategy~~\|real time strategy~~]] game set in a [[A Long Time Ago in Aa Galaxy Far Far Away\|galaxy far far away]] where a perpetual war is taking place between two different Interplanetary Empires of [[Ridiculously-Human Robots\|sentient biped Robots]]; [[~~Colour~~Color-Coded for Your Convenience\|the heroic red MegaCom Corporation and the dastardy blue TransGlobal Empires]]. We follow the story of Commander Zod and his two transport pilots Brad and Allan as they travel across five different worlds; blowing things up, knocking back rocket fuel and taking down names. In 2001 a sequel was made; ''Z: Steel Soldiers'' which followed the story of Zod (now a lowly Captain) being in charge of one side of a neutral zone on a distant planet. Currently, the two forces are under a ceasefire, and the possibility for a more permanent peace is also certain. Zod, however, enters the neutral zone after his men having shot down an aircraft,. onOn it, he finds a new secret weapon and uncovers a massive plot of the blues to wipe out major strategic red bases all at once during the peace talks. In no way related to the 1969 French political film ''[[Z (~~Film~~film)\|Z]]'', but it's a easy mistake to make. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This game contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Abandoned Area]]: ~~battlefields~~Battlefields are littered with abandoned factories, vehicles and grenades. Also, the last world is a decaying industrial complex.▼ ▲* [[Abandoned Area]]: battlefields are littered with abandoned factories, vehicles and grenades. Also, the last world is a decaying industrial complex. * [[Color-Coded Armies]]: Reds Vs Blues, the multi-player of the second game includes additional colours too. * [[Dodge the Bullet]]: ~~cannon~~Cannon projectiles and thrown grenades are so slow that properly maneuvered light tank or a jeep can evade them for enough time to shoot the enemy infantry or driver from the tank with faster, low-caliber bullets. AI takes advantage of this. * [[Flash of Pain]] * [[Geo Effects]]: ~~water~~Water allows infantry to pass (if lucky enough not to be eaten by a crocodile or a swamp monster), vehicles need a bridge, which can be damaged (and repaired with a crane). Rocks and ice walls can be blown up. * [[Non-Fatal Explosions]]: ~~averted~~Averted in that exploding tanks sometimes shoot their turrets into the air. Falling turret can destroy another tank. This can lead to a chain reaction. * [[One-Letter Title]] * [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: They walk, they talk, they get drunk on rocket fuel. Oh and they also use computers with keyboards and drive around in tanks.▼ * [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: ~~this~~This is how you win the game. Either you shoot the opponent's fort from outside with lasers, tanks and missiles, or you send a single unit inside it. Anyway, it blows up. * [[This Loser Is You]]: Losing in first game results in your troops, one by one, telling you how much you suck and how bad you must be to lose. ▲* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: They walk, they talk, they get drunk on rocket fuel. Oh and they also use computers with keyboards and drive around in tanks. * [[Variable Mix]]: Music is more intense during combat and even more so when combat happens close to headquarters. * [[You Require More Vespene Gas]]: Averted. Factories do not need supplies, only time (however it decreased if you got more territories). {{reflist}} [[Category:Microsoft Windows]] [[Category:Science Fiction Video Games]] [[Category:Short Titles]] [[Category:Real- Time Strategy~~]][[Category:Z~~]] [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Video Game]]
