I just dug up this old classic, all the nostalgia of watching a tower scraper collapse onto itself killing a) loads of newly brainwashed civilians
b) In rare cases enemies
and the joy of using that sniper rifle to take out strategic targets just came back to me...
So why on earth has no-one decided to take up the licence (please not EA) and make a polygonised physics engine beast of a game... on todays hardware it would work very well, the less tampering they could do with the gameplay, the better it would be.
Any other syndicate wars fans around??

I used to have Syndicate on the Amiga. Loved it to bits. Never had wars though. Would love to see them resurrect this game.
Even remember the beginning sequence - very Blade Runner-esque.

But that opening cutscene along with the music was nothing short of inspiring!!

SW had to be my fave game ever. Bullfrog were just Gods at the time. Been desperatley trying to find a PS1 copy of the game for some nostalgia. Nothing like a little indoctrinating!;)
Would love to see this either re-released or remade for the current generation of hardware.
iirc, EA were the original publishers of SW
//edit
Just found it for download at fileplanet, fingers crossed it works on XP, unlike a certain copy of Discworld Noir I bought the other day!:(
