Recently been on an 'old-school' rpg binge, which included the discovery of Temple of Elemental Evil, and finally making use of Jagged Alliance 2, which I purchased on GOG a long time ago.
I have to confess, my first introduction to this 'genre' was a game that is probably blasphemy (?) "Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge." At the time I played it, I enjoyed it very much, though the lack of any community surrounding it and the lack of ANY studio legacy for the product was also disappointing.
Evidently this game was an 'unauthorized' clone by a Russian design studio? If nothing else it was quite clearly 'inspired' by Jagged Alliance.
When I first started JA2, I just couldn't get into it at the time. Graphics seemed very crude compared to Hired Guns; and I suppose realistically, they are a bit more crude. Not to say that graphical sophistication is the ultimate determinant of a games merits; but sometimes you just can't get into it.
I don't know what prompted me to finally go back and fire it up, but having 'got past' that little silly turn off from the graphics I have become a lover of this game. It is a clever, humorous, fun, engaging, thought-provoking, edifying tactical rpg, and v1.13 mod multiplies all of those strengths enormously.
So, I just wanted to say thank you to this whole community!
