, tell us about a video game you enjoyed but is too obscure for most of us to
know.
e of my favorite games of all time is Crush Deluxe, a turn-based strategy game from the Windows 95 era with a sci-fi sports theme. It's kind of like turn-based three-team rugby. You move your little guys (from different alien species which all have different RPG-like stats) around the arena looking for the ball, and then once you find it the goal farthest from where the ball was found activates and whichever team gets the ball across the goal gets a point. So you've got a lot of rushing and blocking and scrambling for the ball, but not through an established defensive line because nobody knows ahead of time which goal will be active, and since there are three teams it can be pretty dynamic. And it's turn-based so it's not frantic but it's not overly-complex either. I don't normally enjoy sports or sports games but I found it to be a really great theme for a light strategic game. Crush Deluxe is really under-appreciated.
