Remember the game K240? Fragile Allegiance is K240, in the modern era of computing. Except, that modern has now become the past again, as does tend to happen in the world of computers.
Manage asteroids, dig ores, sell the ores for money, construct ships and missiles, destroy your neighbours. It’s all part of the game that is, Fragile Allegiance.
There is just something about this game that always keeps me interested. I go back every year and become addicted all over again. In fact, I love it so much, that I’ve been working on a Facebook game that takes some of its elements of game play directly from this.

Back in the days of the Commodore Amiga, I used to enjoy a game called UFO Enemy Unknown.
Alien races swarm to Earth and abduct people, build bases, and terrorise cities. It is your job to defend the Earth by scouting for alien ships, researching alien technology and eventually going to the source of the alien invasion and battling the Mother Brain.
It will provide endless hours of fun, and will have you flailing your arms as your men give in to alien mind control games.
You’ll most likely need DOSBOX to run this game, unless you have an old 486DX laying about.
