Description of Maelstrom
P.A.S. Systems gave birth to Maelstrom (also known as Syd Mead's Maelstrom: A New Form of Entertainment) in 1992, with the help of Don Bluth Multimedia, Inc., Merit Studios, Inc. as publisher. Cool strategy game, the player evolve in a managerial, sci-fi / futuristic theme with a perspective.
Maelstrom is a good example of a great game concept marred by poor execution. As "overlord," you must transform a planet's mining-oriented culture to a war-oriented one. The game has many strong points, e.g. the innovative personnel management, a strong non-linear plot with many optional sub-plots, and intriguing espionage model. Unfortunately, they get buried beneath a cumbersome interface. Bear with its idiosyncracies for a while, though, and you'll find a decent game lurking underneath despite all the micromanagement and tough time constraints.
