If that email interface doesn't scream 90s, I don't know what will! And wait until you see their website. Straight out of Frontpage Express. Uh… that was a horrible "WYSIWYG" website editor from Microsoft in case you don't remember. #JaggedAlliance2, the game in which this virtual mail application and those virtual websites appear, has aged a bit better, thankfully.

#JaggedAlliance2 has no initiative order. Instead there is only an alternating Player's Turn and Enemy Turn.

This means that during the Enemy Turn, you have to sit through all the enemy characters doing all their actions in one big block before it's your turn to make any inputs again. Which is bad.

But in return, you can have your own characters coordinate their actions in really interesting way, since you can switch characters after each individual action is performed.

Man, taking the Drassen Mine is so much easier than taking the Airport. I wasted several days and a lot of health taking the airfield. Taking the mine was a matter of minutes with not a single injury.

I think the game could have been more explicit that taking the Drassen Mine should be your first major objective to not get broke.

But I'm really loving this game. Should have played it 20 years ago, but it's still awesome today.
