Classic DOS Game: Syndicate (1993, Bullfrog)

Sponsored Links

Syndicate is an isometric real-time tactical game from Bullfrog Productions created in 1993 by Sean Cooper. It is the first title in the Syndicate series. An expansion pack, Syndicate: American Revolt, and a sequel, Syndicate Wars, have also been released. The original game and expansion pack were re-released together in 1996 as Syndicate Plus. The game puts the player in charge of a self-named corporation in a gritty near-future cyberpunk-style world. Game play involves ordering a four-person team of cyborg agents around cities displayed in a fixed-view isometric style, in pursuit of mission goals such as assassinating executives of a rival syndicate, rescuing captured allies, “persuading” civilians and scientists to join the player’s company or simply killing all enemy agents. As the player progresses through the game, they must manage the research and development of new weaponry and cyborg upgrades. The player has only limited funds, requiring taxation of the conquered territories while ensuring that they are not so over-taxed that they revolt against the player. The player begins the game with simple pistols, progressing through increasingly destructive weaponry that includes Uzis, miniguns, flamethrowers, sniper rifles, time bombs, lasers and the enormously destructive Gauss gun (a rocket launcher). In addition, the player can use items such as medikits to heal his agents, scanners to locate pedestrians/vehicles and the “Persuadatron” to brainwash the player’s

    Electronic Arts no descartó la posibilidad de hacer un remake del Syndicate original en alta definición.

    Sabemos que están enojados porque el Syndicate que todos esperábamos no es el Syndicate que todos esperábamos. Y, aún así, se ve como un FPS decente que intenta traer algo nuevo a la mesa. Pero si de todas maneras no están convencidos, entonces les alegrará saber que Electronic Arts no descartó la posibilidad de rehacer el Syndicate original en HD.

  5. nichols0vision says:

    This looks like a damn strategy game… I extremely doubt i’ll be purchasing the new one if its anything like this outdated shit.

  6. phatnoir1986 says:

    You are the worst syndicate player I’ve ever seen.

  7. SonicPro96 says:

    I found this re-release of this game named Syndicate Plus… It says it works with windows 95 (I think 98 also) and MS-DOS. Just wondering, how should it be played? DOSBox?

  8. turgore says:

    looks like vommit

  9. LogicalMan6 says:

    @SossarHatarSverige Nevertheless, the more support the idea has the likelier it is that they’ll listen.

  10. elgatobizco says:

    Man I miss Bullfrog. So many games that clog up my memory. In a nice way. of course.

  11. TimMer1981 says:

    @ycland Search for “Syndicate Announce Trailer HD” ;)

  12. SossarHatarSverige says:

    @LogicalMan6 No, I have not played the original so I can’t speak for the case like one who has, so it’s better if someone that really know these things ask.
    But I like the idea a lot.

  13. LogicalMan6 says:

    @SossarHatarSverige Got it. Will you ask too?

  14. SossarHatarSverige says:

    @LogicalMan6 I know Starbreeze have a forum, they often answer people on their forum, so please ask there.

    StarbreezeDOTcom —->games—>forums.

    /good luck.

    @ycland now they are, in first person check it out

  20. LogicalMan6 says:

    Does anyone know how to contact Starbreeze to ask them to make remastered versions of the original Syndicate games and release them on PC before or along with this new Syndicate? Cause I really want to play the originals. But with modern sound, graphics, etc.

  21. SheagerBurger says:

    @superdau DUDE, THANK YOU! This is what ive been saying. Garbage looking FPS games that most likely WILL play like garbage and have NONE of the original awesomeness that Syn had, or Xcom, shit even the new fallouts arent as fun as 1 and 2 and Tactics. I love how they claim they are sticking to the original style of the game…like really? Its not isometric and why do I not have my squad of agents? Fucking shitty as devs these days

  22. lucaboris says:

    @ycland a Year later, and now there is a sequal on its way

  23. DHaJ40 says:

    I like what skrillix did with the theme. Maybe a little over the top but still cool none the less.

  24. ycland says:

    @superdau Yeah, I totally was juiced over the general comment of them remaking it, I’m not to enthusiastic about it being FPS either man.

  25. superdau says:

    @ycland
    Our dreams? More like our nightmares have come true. Another dumbed down console FPS? One of how many already? First XCOM and now Syndicate. Nice way to kill a franchise…
