Download Laser Squad - DOS game

By the time Laser Squad reached DOS in 1992, its reputation as a superb tactical strategy game was already well deserved. Every mission demands thoughtful positioning, careful use of limited action points, and enough patience to avoid charging directly into enemy fire. The variety of weapons and scenarios keeps battles engaging while encouraging experimentation with different tactics. Success rarely depends on luck alone, which makes every hard-fought victory especially satisfying. Even today, Laser Squad feels like the blueprint for many modern squad-based strategy games, although your soldiers probably still wonder why you keep sending them through the most dangerous doors first.

Laser Squad review

Zero Magazine (1989): "I think half the attraction of the game is the suspense element and the intellectual ego-massage you can give yourself when you do finally defeat the computer (who plays a mean game). Laser Squad has that elusive blend of excitement, challenge and addictiveness all mashed into one. Definitely on the short list for all time classics and deifinitely the best strategy game you'll find in the shops today"

Retro gamer collector's corner:

The original Target Games 8-bit release came with the first three missions with an expansion pack offered via mail order for the next two. The subsequent Blade Software 8-bit release included these as standard; the mail order expansion pack now offered was for missions six and seven instead. Both offers covered cassette and floppy disk versions.

It is an excellent game, a worthy precursor of the X-COM series. Interesting but i loved the C64 version better, its simpler graphic and cleaner style made it more appeal to the eyes. The PC version wanted to be look good but failed to achieve it, also the faces kinda uncanny valley. But maybe just my nostalgia speaks. :)
