It's 1997 again, and I'm hooked on a 'Jagged Alliance'

I love video games. That’s not to say I play every video game that comes out. I go months or even years without playing anything but when I do find a game I like – I’m hooked. Jagged Alliance was that game for me.

This would be in about 1997. Jagged Alliance was a turn-based tactical strategy game in which you lead a squad of mercenaries to liberate a country. If it sounds like the plot from a bad movie, that was the point.
