Supremacy For Amiga Strategy War Game The concept of the game is very much like today’s strategy games (Civilization, Sim City). At the start of the game you have an amount of money, and from there you will need to colonize planets to conquer new governments. To earn money you tax the population on the planets, and the higher your taxes are, the less population will increase, but you will earn more. You will also need to collect minerals, energy and food, and to increase population. Then its …
Played this to death on Atari STe.
3 planets plus starbase was all you needed to raise money and sustain populations.
As long as you defended them with 4 or 6 lots of top troops you were ok.
OMG! I have spent days trying to remember the title of this game. I was trying to find the music to hear it again. This is the only game EVER that I played right through the night without realising. Love it. Thanks!
I was too stupid or young to play Supremacy… but I remember the music (fantastic), and the intro images, so sad…
Great game! The music sounds like the swedish folksong Byssan Lull.
Thanks for uploading this! If somebody has the original ending videos, please upload them too! I could never beat the last two opponents on the Amiga.
One of my fave Amiga games, and I have always remembered the music with great fondness, I rate it as one of the greatest game tracks ever, superb!
The version I found I just sadly found out has perhaps only one end animation. I just defeated Smine for the first time in a long time and instead of seeing him executed, it showed Wotok instead.
Bummer…
I know the version I had on floppy had the executions, perhaps I can find it.
Man alive I LOVED this game. Found a place to download it so gonna do that ASAP. It really is a very good strategy game – Beats the crap outta Sim City.
True.
I think it was Zero or The One Amiga that showed the Rorn sequence. He is placed in some sort of vice that pulls him apart very squelchily, in their screenshots.
I like this musik. When i degraded my a1200 from 68040 to a 68030 the graphic bug in the intro, wich is seen here too disappeared.
I also played against the second guy (16 planets) and won, but the outro remained the same. The problem with the 32 planet-enemys was the fact that the game had some limitations in regard to the maximum number of ships you were allowed to own (which was 32 I believe). That made it a very tedious process to win the two last stages of the game.
That’s Wotok, the first guy… one cracked version would only allow you to play him whatever level you chose. Rorn is the final bad guy and is in a galaxy of 32 planets.
The end sequence shows your character with the captured enemy in chains. After a short look in the eyes of your enemy you draw your laser-pistol and shoot him between the eyes.
I wish I could find some ending videos… I remember a preview in an Amiga mag of Rorn getting his comeuppance and even beat him myself, but the end sequence failed to load.
I used to have the NES version.
Ha, I remember when I was a kid learning to play the music and recreating it in Sequencer One on the Amiga
I played a lot of this on my Amiga back in the day. I still sometimes return to it on WinUAE. The intro is amazing, I’ll never forget the music.
Sorry, I meant 5 mark (roughly 2,50 EUR)
I found it at a very small local PC-shop in my town for only 5 EUR…
You can find Supremacy on eBay, about 10 bucks. But I think the sound F/X is uglier than the Amiga….
Also, I believe that this game sometimes is named/labeled “Overlord”.
There is a lot of micro-management in this game. If you save a few days before the terraforming is complete, you can reload if you are not happy with the result. You must have a good blend of “vulcanoes” for minerals and fuel, “djungles” for food and “mega-cities” for a good tax income. Normally, I don´t care much about “deserts” (energy) but if you play against the last foe, you must do that also becase of the limited number of ships (sending to planets lacking ships producing needful stuff).
wonderful game!!! I loved the intro images. This game was very well designed. I wish today games could learn from classics like this
uhaa…uhaaaaaa……uhaaaaaaaa
How can I get the Pc-version?
Really loved this game. Although the possibilities were quite limited.
I have the C64, Amiga and PC-Version…
