Deuteros (bfernhout) - Build 465 of a remade strategy classic!

Bfernhout is still hard at work in developing his PC port of the hit Amiga strategy classic "Deuteros" and today's release not only fixes the shuttle bug, but also allows you to take off and stay in orbit of the Earth for the very first time. Hopefully the final version comes out next year as this was one of the best sci-fi sequels where you can mine for resources on the planet and from asteroids, research new technology, build ships to colonize the stars and fight in mass space battles.

Currently at version 415 and still in a very early alpha state, this remake is of a grand space strategy game originally released in the early 90's by Ian Bird. Although the game isn't yet playable, it does give you a glimpse of what the game is like and features production, research and team management. Bfernhout is constantly updating the game and hopes to have the final version out as soon as possible.

Deuteros (bfernhout) - Build 317 of a remade strategy classic!

We've just been informed via EAB that the latest bfernhout remake release of Deuteros is now available to download. Currently at version 317 and still in a very early alpha state, this remake is of a grand space strategy game originally released in the early 90's by Ian Bird. Sequel to the original epic Millennium 2.2 and a very playable game for it's time, you can mine for resources on the planet and from asteroids, research new technology, build ships to colonize the stars and fight in mass space battles.

Deuteros Remakes - Top quality space strategy revival

When people say to me what game do you remember the most, I'm usually quick to respond with Deuteros on the Amiga 500. It was a game like no other, a sci-fi space strategy game in which you mined for resources on the planet and from asteroids, researched new technology, and built ships to colonize the stars. Yet what made this Ian Bird game so brilliant was not only was it a sequel to the previous hit Millennium 2.2, it had a unique space design style that I feel no game has matched. Yet through all these years and talks of a remake, it wasn't until this year that two fans (Gambit/bfernhout) set about reintroducing the game into the PC crowd.

It's just incredible for a Deuteros fan like myself, you wait years and years for a remake of the hit Amiga/Atari classic designed by Ian Bird(1991), and two come a long at once!

Deuteros : The Next Millennium - New Alpha V0.0.19 Remake Release!

A small mention to our previous main feature, you'll be pleased to know that the remake of the incredible 1991 space strategy game Deuteros has now been updated to a new alpha V0.0.19 release. The developer of the PC remake "Gambit", has added a new options screen, more sounds and fixes to the research and production scene. Please note though that this is alpha and is in no way playable, plus there is also an issue with the GFX of which the developer is using and may well have to be redone. Read on for the changelog

Deuteros : The Next Millennium - New Alpha V.0.1.16 Remake Release!

Originally designed by Ian Bird and released in 1991 as a sequel to Millennium 2.2, Deuteros was an incredible Space Strategy game for it's time and I feel there is nothing like it still today. The object of the game was to mine resources, research new tech and to colonize further out into the solar system. But it was both the construction, the story, the immersion, the space battles and ship control which set it above many of the games even released today. So gamers that remember this fine title will be pleased to know that a PC fan based remake is now in the works by Gambit.

Deuteros : Duology Compilation - Two incredible Amiga strategy games free PC portable!

The Company.PL have released in PC portable versions, two incredible strategy games that are well known in the Amiga community as two of the best Amiga space strategy games ever made, Millennium 2.2 and Deuteros. They are so well sort after that even today both are still being sold for a high price on Ebay. Millennium 2.2 has you as the commander of Moonbase, ensuring the survival of humankind by exploring the Solar System for other habitable planets and moons, and ultimately re-establish life on Earth. Whereas Deuteros is set 800 years after Millennium, in a time when mankind has won the struggle to make the Earth habitable again but lost its space faring capabilities(which it is seeking to regain). Both games feature deep game play that can last you hours as you research, create new space equipment, colonize the stars and ultimately defeat the evil race which is intent on wiping you out.

The Retro Collection - My lifes story!

This may bore some of you, especially with the negative side, but for others you may get that extra bit of nostalgia, so here goes. Through all these years of having to deal with Autism, OCD and the more recently diagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to a long childhood of bullying and other personal issues still taking it's toll on my mental state, there's one thing I've always kept strong to, which isn't just my family and normal gaming. My retro collection, the great Amiga 500 and of cause the Amiga 1200 oh and the even older Amstrad CPC. Through a very young age I was always fascinated by computers, I remember getting the green screen Amstrad CPC 464 and although not such a great programmer I loved buying all those cool games. Hearing that squealing tape, the wavy lines and finally after ever so many minutes, the game screen. Which was either Dizzy or Green Beret! Fast forward to this year and..

Deuteros X - A Strategy remake that was in the works!

Work in progress Intro Screen

Game Type : Space Strategy
Game Info from our previous article : Designed by Ian Bird and released in 1991. The game is set some 800 years after the Millennium, in a time when mankind has won the struggle to make the Earth habitable again but lost its spacefaring capabilities, which it is seeking to regain. This is no ordinary space game and so far there has been no game like it since.The object of the game is to mine resources, research new tech and to colonize further out into the solar system. Don't expect amazing graphics but do expect deep thoughtful gameplay with thousands of drones fighting away at each other as you battle to defend yourself against the Methanoids.  If you decide to give up it's rather satisfying hitting the Self Destruct button, the nuke button oh and you can even chill out with the Music Box which comes later. This is a game NOT to be missed
Remake News : It came as a surprise yesterday to find out that Deuteros was going to have a remake called Deuteros X. Simply searching for a Deuteros wallpaper was met with a number of screenshots that I have never seen before and it turned out that a remake was in progress, however it has recently stalled due to the developer's lack of willing to commit. Which is a shame as other programmers need the files to keep the Remake going. But from what i've seen of the work in progress and temporary screenshots it looked like a worthy remake and got me all tingly inside, lets hope it does end up being finished!

Deuteros - One of the best Amiga Space Strategy Games (PC UPDATE+FIXED SAVES!)

Game Type : Space Strategy
Games in the Pack :  Deuteros, Millenium 2.2
Launcher Developer :  The Company.pl 
Info from our previous article : Designed by Ian Bird and released in 1991. The game is set some 800 years after Millennium, in a time when mankind has won the struggle to make the Earth habitable again but lost its spacefaring capabilities, which it is seeking to regain. This is no ordinary space game and so far there has been no game like it since. In my youth of playing it which was purchased at a local market I spent an entire summer without hardly ever seeing daylight just playing it.  The object of the game is to mine resources, research new tech and to colonize further out into the solar system. You can train new 3 categories of civilians : Producers, Researchers and Marines, out of a pool of 6000 population. The longer these teams are used, they are advanced in three levels, required for some later action (some inventions can be manufactured only by a producer who is at "Expert" level while Pilots with the rank of "Admiral" will be more effective in battles). Don't expect amazing graphics but do expect deep thoughtful gameplay with thousands of drones fighting away at each other as you battle to defend yourself against the Methanoids.  If you decide to give up it's rather satisfying hitting the Self Destruct button, the nuke button oh and you can even chill out with the Music Box which comes later. This is a game NOT to be missed

Millennium 2.2 - Another great Amiga space strategy with two great remakes!

In the game, humanity has colonized the Moon and Mars. However a 20 trillion ton asteroid has collided with Earth, making it uninhabitable. All that is left of humanity is a small, self-sufficient colony on the surface of the Moon, and a race of mutant humans on Mars. As the commander of Moonbase, it is your job to ensure the survival of humankind by exploring the Solar System for other habitable planets and moons, and ultimately re-establish life on Earth. However, the Martian mutants consider themselves the superior race and want Earth for themselves. A war is inevitable. The core of the game is spent in resource management and researching new technologies for space ships and base improvements. A typical game involves manufacturing probes, managing each colony's solar power energy generation, and mining for resources on various planets and their moons.

Amiga Version

The player needs to balance manufacturing output with the available solar power, and many minerals are only available from certain planets or asteroids. Depending on planetary orbits, colony ships and probes can take longer to reach their destinations. As time progresses, colonists will adapt to different atmospheres, and after Earth is terraformed, secede from the player's control, stranding any ships that may be docked. Each game begins with the planets in the same orbital positions, and the types of resource were always the same for each planet. A certain hard to find mineral is always on the same planet, and that planet only. The only break from the resource management simulation comes when the player is under attack by Martians

Millennium 2.2 is the prequel to the also amazing Deuteros, both generally feel the same but of cause differ graphically. Whereas in Deuteros you have drones, in Millennium 2.2 when defending it turns into a Space Simulator which involves what look to be triangles shooting at you in space, think of it as an elite control scheme. In regards to the remake of Millennium 2.2 the Space Action Simulator is replaced by enemy dots i mean err space ships attacking from all sides, which is so much easier than the original.

We have two versions for you to enjoy, the original Amiga version which had been remade using an inbuilt emulator and extra graphical filters. Download, Run Game, Press F12 in game for extra settings.  The other version is a full remake it doesn't have any inbuilt emulators and most of the screens look completely different however not distracting from that Millennium 2.2 feel which made it so amazing.

Myself, I've played the original when it was first released in 1989 and spent many weeks trying to finish it... The Amiga playable pc version which again I completed and the remake again, completed.  I'll say this you will love both the original amiga-pc remake and the full remake.
