Look, they're flying.

?

Also, didn't Fallen Haven kind of ... suck?

It always depends on the POV. It was rather a simple macro-micro economics with classic turn based combats, certainly not an X-Com sophisticated title. If you played it, what would be the things that sucked, just to be precise?

As for the cost - I think I got both of them (one I bought a while ago, can't remember) for cca 170$ including the shipping cost and customs taxes. Think it was worth it, Half-Saint?

I am referring to the imaginative box art.

I can't say that I ever did play it, but it seemed out of place next to the various other much more well-known games. I am probably getting it confused with some 2D fighting game. Never mind.

What I'd like is a nice boxed PODP5V133.

Too bad they probably go for a few hundred buckazoids.

Of course if I found one I'd probably open it 😁

Ah...that new (old) computer part smell.

Fallen Haven was awesome, as well as the sequel (prequel?) Liberation Day. Turn based combat and pretty decent animations (explosions) for its time.
