Jagged Alliance Deadly Games

Released in 1995, Deadly Games was a DOS sequel to the original game. It featured a different format, however, and therefore is considered by some to be more of a spin-off than a sequel. This game featured the same top-down perspective as the original game.

In Deadly Games, the player takes a group of mercenaries through a series of missions. The missions are linked chronologically, removing the need for micro-management on a campaign map. Mercenaries are hired and fired between missions, and the first equipment trader of the series offers his services. The most innovative aspects of Deadly Games include a wide variety of special ops mission types like hostage rescues, demolition and infiltration missions. Strategic features like turn limits and a boosted AI as well as networked multiplayer capabilities make this the most complete package in the series. The integrated scenario and campaign editors allow for the creation of custom strategic scenarios, adding to the replay value.
