Like always, GOG has a good mix of genre definers and unsung heroes this is just a subset. Over time the strategy genre has seen numerous convention changes and experienced massive popularity up through the 1990s and to modern day, with notable games like Nobunaga’s Ambition, Starcraft, Heroes of Might & Magic, and X-COM: UFO Defense, just to name a few. While SSI’s Computer Bismarck (1980) is regarded by many as the first strategy pc game, Invasion for the Magnavox Odyssey (1972) is considered the venerable video game genre’s real start. Strategy games have been around since the dawn of time, but computer strategy games first arrived in the early days of the 1980s. We decided to combine all types of strategy games into one article, so you will see a mix of real time and turn-based games across time periods and subgenres.

In Part 3 of our Hidden Gems of GOG series, the topic is Strategy.
