Classic DOS Game: Syndicate (1993, Bullfrog)

[Ronnie7X]

game play starts at 4:23

Btw look at this, then look at the 2012 version, then look back at this, then look back the 2012 version then laugh your fucking ass off

God bless technology

[DaveElectric]

Wow, this sucks.

Research weapons until you get the chain gun and sniper

Then research body parts (in any order with the legs being the last to upgrade)

Equip all personal with exact same weapons (for easier micro)

Press 4 star icon to select ALL your guys. Don't do that one at a time noob shit.

Slide three technique sliders when necessary. Turn back sliders everytime you not using techniques.

Move around and finish your objectives.

Learn how to play.

WHAT A SUCKY GAME SYNDICATE 2012 IS THE BEST

[batman63843]

need for speed the run best ever beat any need for speed easy

[batman63843]

this is syndicate wow mini arcade shit i got the real version its freaking awsome beat that sucka

[fischeraccount]

Suffered a bit from the usual Molyneux/Bullfrog factor: Lots of great design ideas but not fitting perfectly together. While I liked the levels, the whole management level beyond that did not really work for me - those levels combined with the management game design of X-Com would have been the awesomest game ever!

[Khorask]

*sniff* brings back memories.. back when games were fun and original.. back when I had a bed time and had to turn off syndicate cuz it was 8pm and had school the next day

[ohnoyoudidnt99]

Wow this game is really different than the new syndicate

[Caleb110688]

um, your download link didn't work, man

[AchtungBaby77]

This game was king, finished it when I was in high school only to discover the ending sequence was... The end credits!

Talk about an anticlimax...

Was still a fun game though.

[YoungJim409]

...And to this day I'm pissed about the time my clown car with my entire team and the 30 or so people I'd influenced got blown up.

[will12020]

i came here to see what the original syndicate was like since the new one came out. then i suddenly realized i played this game before. nostalgia mindblown.

[DARQMX]

Wow... you couldnt of insulted me more calling me a fuxking cod player... go fuck ya self you asshole

[17MrLeon]

how to control all troops at once

[alihart]

@17MrLeon click in the middle of the control console

[17MrLeon]

@alihart I dont have control console just mouse and keyboard

[lilpiggy89]

Great game!

[DARQMX]

And keep in mind I do mean the gameplay not the cutscenes hell fallout 1 and 2 didn't they come around the same time? Those looked better and way funner and old school fallout guys don't hate on the new fallout they love them.

[DARQMX]

No way... graphics wise Doom looked a lot better maybe not detail wise but graphics hell yes.

[DARQMX]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG THIS GAME LOOKS SO AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG SO FUNNNNNNNN....not... new Syndicate is the way to go. Sorry fanboys but this game looks UBER boring.

[zaquez79]

@DARQMX Well- it's something that You won't play on Your PS3 or XBOX. FPS remake is just a shadow of it's great predecessor. Syndicate was a fresh, innovative and very good looking game (1993).

[crazyivan1]

@DARQMX said the cod player and started his xbox...

[Thatdeal79]

This game is a freaking classic. I hope the new game lives up to it.

[153ridzzzz]

Wtf this sucks shit

[BloodRed142]

Why is the music so bad it makes me sick

[MYNAMEISPRYD]

@VinylSamuraisMusic the new Syndicate is the shit . I HATE FPS such as Call of Duty etc. yet Syndicate is an exception . If you like any good game, you should really consider Syndicate as one of them. Really..

[animereviewdude]

this looks like a knockoff of x com not saying its bad though its like bf and cod the same yet good

[VinylSamuraisMusic]

One of the best games ever made as we as the original of course. To my delight i heard about the new "Syndicate" Out soon. To my utter dissapointment it is nothing like this.

Such a damn shame. Imagine how amazing it would be. I mean why be original when you can cater to the sheep that purchase the same old FPS.

They all sell out eventually. Damn shame damn shame damn shame

[BigWill076]

@VinylSamuraisMusic

You'll have to pardon me for calling your view narrow-minded. I love strategy games, and I regret not being old enough to have enjoyed this game, but the reboot actually takes the action from this game and lets you play as an agent. At least they seem to have maintained the atmosphere, unlike what the new X-COM shooter appears to be. As far as shooters go, the new Syndicate *is* original.

[VinylSamuraisMusic]

@BigWill076 I respect your view however after watching some of the campaign it seems like any other FPS (The new game). To me and many others it would have been so much better to just update the game that is already there. It wont feel the same. It is like say playing Gears of war for 6 years then playing COD. Totally diff charactor angles so its a totally diff game. Shame cos i was well excited about this

[Dahajda]

Name: Youtube. Wtf?

[BRBSHUTUPNOOB]

this is way better than the 2012 one

[PlanetDead]

I recall if you named your company as Copperhead or something in this, you get a shitload of cash and fully upgraded agents, being fully cyborgs :O

[4272005]

@PlanetDead Cooper team

[Terf1988]

Syndicate is being re-released on GOG.com this coming Thursday for 6 bucks. (Albeit, without the American Revolution expansion pack)

[4272005]

Why couldn't they remake the original Syndicate game with bigger maps, more weapons, higher resolution and more missions. But most of all keep the fcuking perspective the same.

[helikestv]

@4272005 as you should know from the upcoming X-COM FPS, it is now illegal to make a video game that is not an FPS.

[4272005]

@helikestv Sad but probably true

[mshartz5]

@helikestv

And you have to be sure that it is consolized. It must be easy, it must be non-stop action, and it must not include any originality what-so-ever!

[gtvapsamtik]

OMG old memories

[teatimecrumpet]

This was a great game! Anyone know if you can play it with a newer os?

[4272005]

@teatimecrumpet Use DosBox and it will work

[LazyXCroc]

Syndicate u r amazing

[crzykid71]

I loved this game as a kid. I would use that persuasion 'chip' & get loads of people, an army muuhahahaa 

[jstoffer111]

I remember this game! I was freaking sweet! Too bad the new one being made is going to be just another crappy generic First Person shooter :( . Man shooters are seriously ruining gaming for me. Who are the idiots who keep buying them and convincing gaming companies we want more of them...

[dubq]

@jstoffer111 I wouldn't go that far, actually. The new one is something different for the FPS genre. Similar to what Deus Ex was doing. Most FPS games are generic military shooters.. this new one definitely won't be that.

[Trondyard]

One of my favourite games of all time! Gosh, how many hours have I played this back then?

Unbelievable that I'm playing it actually on my Nintendo DS using the Dos-Emulator "DS2x86". So sweet to see the game running on this little screen. But I can't remember: Was there a possibility to save the game during a mission or was saving only possible after each mission?

[Michaeljohncoulson]

Cooper team - I cheated.

[Communist2012]

god i miss this old game :(

[WildBuck007]

Really funny when they strip the guy for the machine. It looks like he has the most hairy crotch EVER ! lol

[d0u6la]

make a minecraft sever 1.8.1 tell me ip

[nichols0vision]

@jeremyj2e Your bitch said you were a noob in bed.

[MrGrabity]

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.

[nichols0vision]

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

[phatnoir1986]

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

[Communist2012]

@phatnoir1986 lol yes he is, i used to just select all, and run and gun with full drugs boost XD

[ArturoPicassi]

@phatnoir1986 lol. this is only demo

[HardWarUK]

@phatnoir1986 And you're the best no doubt at every game?! Also put up a gameplay video so we can see!

[SonicPro96]

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?

[turgore]

looks like vommit

[elgatobizco]

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

[MrChowderClam]

LOL suck on this inc.

[LogicalMan6]

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. 

[SossarHatarSverige]

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

StarbreezeDOTcom ---->games--->forums.

/good luck.

[LogicalMan6]

@SossarHatarSverige Got it. Will you ask too?

[SossarHatarSverige]

@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.

[LogicalMan6]

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

[DHaJ40]

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

[jdielaras]

well guess what...this game is getting its sequel...it is made by EA right now for pc ps3 and xbox 360...look for it ;)

[Surtak]

Aaaah....sweet memories.

[Rhamsody]

thank gawd. been waiting for a reboot for a long time!

[ycland]

OUR DREAMS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!

Electronic Arts officially announced on 12th September 2011 that, together with Starbreeze Studios, they are working on a new Syndicate game. The game will be available in early 2012 for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

[superdau]

@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...

[ycland]

@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.

[SheagerBurger]

@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

[DJExcal]

yeahh i liked this game so much ;)

[simonver222]

And now EA wants to reboot it as a FPS

[Lubeular]

check channel for the first screenshots of the new syndicate game

[marafetigr]

the reason I did not study in High School!!!!!

[jcnbw01]

this game taught me that a 'minigun' wasn't mini at all..

i hated the oil rig in alaska. that stage always depleted my agent pool... >:(

[Eskimo50]

Selected.

[j7512]

This game was awesome I so remember this!

[11COMICNERD]

i heard that they may be rebooting this game, never played it though. whats so special about it?

[PlaySyndicateNews]

Pretty cool game :D

[Habeel13]

Finished it like a 100 times lol, the American Revolt was damn hard though

[monev]

Team Cooper

Cooper Team

[HoekseLijnCrew]

YEAAHHHH first game i ever played , downloaded it again just have to figure out how to get it to work :P

and yes syndicate wars is very crappy

[900RedChocobo]

the game where you control a ginger army =) awesome game!

[BoomDoneNext]

this game was literally 100000 years ahead of its time... such a great game

[ganztaOne]

Starbreeze will make the sequel and thats soon people!

[HardWarUK]

@ganztaOne Yea, but it's a first person shooter - again!

[Jesus45U]

Oh man .... I loved that game.

[FoggySwe]

I feel sorry for the kids of today who will never experience such good games.

[IBLOWN]

My old 386 SX 16 used to sturggle running this lol.

[koobin]

My teengage hood!

[qettyz]

Umh Amiga version had so much better music :P This game brings so much memories!

[Originalpoko12]

They should made a modern version of this that would be sweet

[ubascouser]

This was amazing on the amiga they should do it for the iPad,iPhone

[CubaVLD]

[norc24601]

~selected~ heheheh....

[Alika1212]

fucking LOVE this game. One of the best games ever made

[ycland]

This game was epic, awaited a second one but they never made it.

[Shyranis]

@ycland Syndicate Wars for the PC and Playstation (and I think Saturn?) I have the trailer somewhere here.

[adsci]

@Shyranis those were not as good as the original at all

[Shyranis]

@adsci That is true, but I was just pointing out that a sequel was made (one that was only okay)

[Sonadar9]

@Shyranis A new Syndicate is under production by Starbreeze for EA, rumors are there will be news released today.

[MrAlexjenkinson]

@adsci The developers are re-modelling this into an FPS.

[KimIsIll]

@ycland awesome game! Totally agree, in fact Syndicate was one of the favourite games among Amiga gamers.

[izzynobre]

@ycland of course they made it. Look up "Syndicate Wars"

[orrinization]

@ycland Starbreeze is making an unannounced game for EA that's rumored to be a new Syndicate.

[runnergunner42]

@ycland its getting a reboot next year

[Quelspunk]

@ycland it is confirmed a sequel now,but it is a first person shooter.

[lucaboris]

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

[killersk8boarder]

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

[paladinstorm]

@killersk8boarder First Person Fail.

[ThePresD]

@ycland now they are

[TimMer1981]

@ycland Search for "Syndicate Announce Trailer HD" ;)

[KommandoOver9000]

Is there a way to select all 4 agents at once?

[Alika1212]

@KommandoOver9000 its been over 10 yrs but i think it was space bar

[GreenPineapplez]

@KommandoOver9000 Yeah.. you used the mouse and clicked the (+ + + +) button in the top left.. i quite agree with jackf456 ... there's alot of things he didnt do to make it easier for himself.. like made the status bars,, not entirely sure the exact name.. but the red bar made you faster (related to Heart), Blue bar either made you more accurate (Eyes), and the Yellow bar automated your agents to any immediate danger.. really.. he had no idea what he was doing.. or was just glossing over the mis

[MultiCamo]

This game was way too advanced for me when I was young to try to play it properly so I always just used the cheats

[pizzaforeveryone]

man this game was awesome. two words: the flamethrower.

[jackf456]

I'm glad the opening and first mission where placed, but come on now I really hope you know how to move all 4 agents at once!!! But then again I played this when it first came out :)

[HardWarUK]

Do we get any games now that have a threatening intro? No.

[dirtpipedan]

Did anyone else think that this game was hard as fuck? Maybe its cause i was like 10 years old, but i could never get anywhere in it.

[VideoCosi]

@dirtpipedan yeah, i was around that age, hopeless as well, and i was good goddamnit

[LuccaKristan01]

@dirtpipedan cheats my boy.... cheats :D

[namenlosesSehnen]

@dirtpipedan me too ^^ i was ten "played" it ... but never really knew what i really did ^^

[printer0]

@dirtpipedan I beat all the levels except the last one, had to cheat I think if that was possible.

[Fiselgrulm]

I always wondered why they only replaced one single leg in the intro. Walking and running should work better with a pair of identical legs... ;-)

[Shyranis]

@Fiselgrulm

I always assumed it was because they broke his leg when they rammed him with the car.

[DrDot]

@Fiselgrulm

Tight budget.

[jrag1000]

heh, the amount of work they put into those intros... lol

pretty hard stuff back in the day...

[IPAWNMYQUEENS]

this was one cool game sadly they didnt make any real second part of it.. i wonder why never a game like this came out again.. how cool is it to control the world with his corporation.. i love it

[darkdoom18]

un clasico ....estilo muy cyberpunk...

un juego con grandes graficos para la epoca

:D

lo tengo como una reliquia

[Shyranis]

Muchos Gracias mi Amigo =D

(Hope I spelled that right)
