Managing human civilization from the Stone Age to futuristic technology is no small assignment, yet Mega lo Mania handles it with remarkable style and originality. Players guide populations through multiple eras, researching inventions, constructing armies, and conquering neighboring islands before opponents gain the upper hand. The gradual technological progression keeps every match engaging, rewarding long-term planning alongside quick reactions during battles. Its colorful presentation hides surprising strategic depth beneath the cheerful appearance. Watching tiny workers invent increasingly sophisticated weapons somehow makes world domination feel oddly wholesome for a few entertaining hours.
ACE magazine: "About an hour of experimentation is required before you can really get into Mega lo Mania, but once you're in, you'll have serious trouble tearing yourself away. If there wasn't a SAVE game option, there might have been some very nasty cases of skeletons found sitting slumped over PC keyboards. It's all down to the insinctiveness of the design and the clever way in which the strategy has been constructed. Unfortunately, there's unlikely to be much compulsion to carry on once all the epochs have been conquered."

We're running out of Elephants! (I think it was supposed to say elements but it sounded like elephants)

I played Mega-lo-mania on the Sega Megadrive. I adored the game, just a fun strategy game with plenty of humour. An original idea which made it stand out from the Sim Cities, Command & Conquers, Populus games of the time. Worth a bit of a go!
