Global Effect

Global Effect is a video game in the strategy genre developed by Millennium Interactive Ltd. and published by Millennium Interactive Ltd. originally released in 1992. It is currently playable on DOS, Amiga, Amiga CD32.

Essentially similar to The Settlers AKA Serf City, Global Effect involves building a strong local economy before going out to attack other nations and rule the world. The cities must contain housing, power sources, and energy supplies, which is where it gets tricky. You can choose the environmental setting of the game, similar to Civilization: an icy world or a post-apocalyptic one makes things much more difficult.

Environmental factors play the biggest role in this game, as you have to use efficient energy sources if possible. You only have a certain level of energy at the beginning of the game, and you have to build enough 'green' things to increase it further; trees are the most efficient.

Once you have a fully functional city capable of supporting military units of any quality, they can be directed into battle by giving them pre-planned flight paths that can be overridden if necessary.

Two-player games can be played over null modem cables, even between different systems.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
