Classic DOS Game: Syndicate (1993, Bullfrog)

Syndicate is an isometric real-time tactical game from Bullfrog Productions created in 1993 by Sean Cooper. It is the first title in the Syndicate series. An expansion pack, Syndicate: American Revolt, and a sequel, Syndicate Wars, have also been released. The original game and expansion pack were re-released together in 1996 as Syndicate Plus. The game puts the player in charge of a self-named corporation in a gritty near-future cyberpunk-style world. Game play involves ordering a four-person team of cyborg agents around cities displayed in a fixed-view isometric style, in pursuit of mission goals such as assassinating executives of a rival syndicate, rescuing captured allies, "persuading" civilians and scientists to join the player's company or simply killing all enemy agents.
As the player progresses through the game, they must manage the research and development of new weaponry and cyborg upgrades. The player has only limited funds, requiring taxation of the conquered territories while ensuring that they are not so over-taxed that they revolt against the player. The player begins the game with simple pistols, progressing through increasingly destructive weaponry that includes Uzis, miniguns, flamethrowers, sniper rifles, time bombs, lasers and the enormously destructive Gauss gun (a rocket launcher). In addition, the player can use items such as medikits to heal his agents, scanners to locate pedestrians/vehicles and the "Persuadatron" to brainwash the player's targets into blind obedience.

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

@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.

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.

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!

*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

@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!

[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.
