Watch the two videos below to learn how to play this complex game that was created over 30 years ago! I am not endorsed by nor affiliated with Omnitrend Software, which reserves all rights to Rules of Engagement 2.
Rules of Engagement 2 was created back in an era where every game programmer was a pioneer. Click on the image below to be taken to the YouTube video where Dr. Greg Zeschuck, from BioWare, talks about developing one of his first games in 1996! A 3d game where terrain could be deformed with weapons. In the video he puts a nuclear missile on a hill and makes a big hole in the hill he can walk into. In addition watching the video further will introduce you to the first Tomb Raider and Diablo games! The 1990's is where our modern game world was born. The video is fascinating to watch.
