14 DAY TRIAL // Jagged Alliance 1: Gold Edition, a collection of games developed by Madlab Software and published by bitComposer Games, has been released on Steam for Linux.
Jagged Alliance 1: Gold Edition includes Jagged Alliance and Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games, the original titles that sparked the entire Jagged Alliance franchise.
“The return of a real classic – for the first time on Steam! 20 years ago, Jagged Alliance made an impact and changed the strategy genre forever. Now you can experience this legend in its glorious original form.”
“A desperate call for help from the island Metavira: The scientist Jack Richards and his lovely daughter Brenda are reaching out to you. The Fallow trees and thus the precious, medical sap on which countless of lives depend, are under the control of the evil and traitorous Santino. That’s why Jack and Brenda hire you, the commander of a mercenary force, to put an end to Santino's insane plans,” reads the official website.
You need to keep in mind that these are the original games and not some remakes. They may not look too pretty, but they are aimed at the user who has already played them 20 years ago. There was no indication that the titles would also be released on Steam, but this is good news nonetheless.
The games are old and the system requirements are pretty low. Players will need Ubuntu 10.10 or later, a 3D Graphics card with OpenGL support, and 1200 MB of available HDD space.
