Nectaris for PC DOS: new units and full battle animation

This video shows the new units that are unique to the version by Sunflower made in 1995. In battle scenes, that is.

If you are familiar with the earlier Nectaris games you will notice that some of the naval units are similar to land-based units from the earlier games, while others are completely new. What is not immediately gathered from merely watching the battle scenes are some special and unique properties not seen before in the series.

There is very little material on the internet regarding this particular game - a good site is that of fellow Nectaris nut Michael Freligh. It has a lengthy FAQ on the game including screenshots of all in-game unit descriptions:

In my earlier Nectaris video which shows general gameplay, I did not activate the full battle animation scenes because the game switches to a screen with 3 pixels less vertical resolution, causing DOSBox' own video capture function to create a new .avi file each time battles start and end (Fraps does not work). This would have resulted in dozens or even hundreds of separate files, trying to edit such footage would have been impractical so I decided to gather scenes of all the new units for one video. It's a shame things are so complicated.

This was such an awesome port and a great service to the series. It should be released on systems and/or remade.

Oh My God! This is completely different from the PCE / TG-16 game, which was also ported to Windows 95.
