Welcome to my page. If you select the Characters section you can click on a picture to go to the character's page for data on each of them. A song will play for most pages, if it doesn't automatically start just click the picture. The songs are very funny and that is reason enough to go, but take a little time to read about the characters. They are the best characters I've seen in any game and they were given a rich and detailed history. If nothing else, you can click on the sayings link, and see some very clever and funny insults. Take a couple seconds and look around.

Deadlock II is an incredible game. You have a wide variety of tasks you must perform. You get to decide how many colonists you will put to work doing construction and how many will be sent to work on upgrading existing structures. You must also have to choose what resources will be put towards your war effort. It's not just making war it's managing a colony.

Online play is where Deadlock truly excells. There is nothing quite like watching your opponent's colony fall and then taking it over. Unfortunately, thanks to Accolade there is no official place to play. For several months the Deadlock Club has been the center of play. The club's membership has been going up, but the number of people playing has dropped off dramatically. If you get the game you'll be playing most of your games offline.

I picked up my copy of Deadlock II for about $10.00 at Software Etc. You can also buy the game online from Accolade's Online Store for $14.99. If you do buy the game make sure to pick up the Patch (Version 1.2). You can also recieve the patch by mail on a floppy disk. This service was free when I called for mine. See the game manual for details. The patch fixes several small bugs, let's you use the level editor, and increases the artificial intelligence.

If you want to see for yourself, you can take a couple minutes to download the 14MB Deadlock II Demo. The demo version doesn't let you do nearly as much as the full version and it ends in 15 turns, but it should give you a feel for DL2's style of play.
