    Talking Game Player's - Sega Genesis Game Of The Month (June 1990) HERZOG ZWEI

    Leading up to that, the month before, we had Game Player's first look at Herzog Zwei in their May 1990 issue.




    Then the main article in their June issue, where they awarded it Sega Genesis game of the month and wrote a kick-ass intro.













    That article actually sold me on Herzog Zwei.

    If I remember correctly this game was reviewed poorly by a few publications when it released. I don't think they understood the RTS concept. Herzog Zwei was certainly my introduction to the genre. I thought it was really unique and definitely ahead of its time though. I'm glad to still own a copy.

    Well, certainly EGM reviewed it very poorly, though VG&CE rated pretty decently, as did some of the UK mags.

    @ the individual ratings for graphics, playability, etc. how do they determine that a game's graphics are a .83 out of 1, and not a .82?

    They obviously didn't know they were playing a masterpiece when they played it.
