Supremacy

A repetitive realtime manager-style game where your only task is to send troop transports to enemy planets again, again and again and again, literally "ad nauseam". Super nice presentation helps to distract from the utterly dull gameplay.

Excellent graphics and music throughout the game only flaw is the messaging system that is annoying. Good strategy game, but most difficult level brings up sweat, you need to constantly train more troops and send them to your opponents planet. Repeating this ten times becomes tiresome, but at least you get rewarded by beautiful end sequences and some of the best music ever on C64. Verdict: 9/10

Just want to correct the reviewer on something.

The original Sim City came out in 1989, this came out in 1991, so how exactly did this make the way for a game that came out BEFORE? Other than that the review was spot on, and this game is certainly a 10/10

Almost the perfect strategy game for the C64. The scifi atmosphere, the control system, the detailed manual, the graphics. All brilliant.

One flaw that loses the game 3 whole points is the messaging system. From level 2 onwards you will be receiving a LOT of messages alerting you of minor skirmishes that don't matter. Every few seconds is common. Unfortunately the game makes a telephone ringing sound and flashes the border all the time you have an unread message. You will be way to busy to interrupt what you're doing and read the message. So you spend a huge portion of game time sat listening to a telephone ringing while the screen flashes. After finishing level 1, it was enough to stop me playing on. Such a shame because it marrs what is otherwise a superb game. It is really one of those AVGN "what were they thinking?" moments.

BTW You can turn the sound effects off, but then you have to play in total silence.

Some of the best graphics on the C64 in this, which is interesting as Supremacy is a non-arcade game. A lot of depth to this too. It does get a tad confusing later in the game, but Supremacy (/ Overlord) is one of the best strategy games on the C64.

8 / 10

It's games like this that could have saved the C64. An absolute gem. Supremacy (or Overlord, as it's known in the U. S), is definitely the best C64 strategy game. A really immersive strategy experience that rivals some of today's strategy games. 10/10.

Supremacy

+ great concept with excellent design in every aspects
+ calm and relaxing

- minor bugs/limitations

9/10

Solid port of the 16bit original, but was released when the C64 was already on it's deathbed.

Relatively simple, but well worked out and great fun to play. Shows that this type of game (Master of Orion-light) could be done succesfully even on the C64, too bad it was already in the nineties when it came out..

This game is still a Classic. It provides excellent strategic entertainment without being overly complex. Fantastic looking too! Don't miss the community remastered version on .crt, with a complete remake of the animated Amiga intro, and animated sprites during gameplay.

A strategy game on C64 in the league of Civilization variants that we play on PC today!! Ahead of time, in time, at its time (Sid Meier came up with Alpha Centauri in late 90s)
A little more gameplay depth and it would certainly have been one of the best C64 games ever. Some memorable Jeroen Tel music packaged in with decent, polished graphics. Unmissable for any 64 fan. 9/10

This was up there with civilaisation as a strategy game. Absolutley brilliant. Came in a lovely spongey box, too.

I think this was the first strategy game that catched my interest back then. And I liked it a lot. Technically, it was also greatly done (for little c64).

Perfect game. Read my review 10/10

This was THE best strategy game on the C64 bar none!

The graphics, sounds and music were all spot on and I even remember the superb manual but the gameplay is where the game really excelled. From terra-forming planets to battling alien races, it had the lot. One game I may try and seek out to play again.

Perfect strategy/managment game! I spend hours, days, months(... )to play... And it's not the end yet! Excellent idea and great graphic. Congratulations, dear software-staff! SUPREMACY:10 pointer galactic domain!

From the opening music and credits you know your in for something good here.
Overlord (Supremacy was Amiga) is a pretty darn good war, economic sim that does get out of hand on the later stages as Erik said and many times to get the enemy home planet its a matter of sending wave after wave after wave of combat troops. But even that is intense as you have to decided how long to train your reinforcements etc Great game. PS never allow all your troops to die on a planet with your troop carriers empty. You will not be able to move them or land new ones!

A nice game with clever CPU
opponents who use different
strategies.
But the brutal animated death
sequences were not necessary.

A cool strategy game. I really liked it back in the early 90's. I still play it from time to time!

Also released as "Overlord. " Don't know why the name was changed, but that's the version I had. Its an okay strategy game, but in the later stages the universes are too big to handle by the game's interface and it all falls apart.
