***Laser Squad*** is a turn-based tactics video game, originally
released for the ZX Spectrum and later for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC,
MSX, Amiga and Atari ST and PC computers. It was designed by
Julian Gollop and his team at Target Games (later Mythos Games and
Codo Technologies) and published by Blade Software, expanding on
the ideas applied in their previous Rebelstar series of games.
Laser Squad originally came with five mission scenarios, with an
expansion pack released for the 8-bit versions, containing a further
two scenarios. Reaction from gaming magazines was positive, gaining it
high review rating and several accolades. The legacy of the game can be
seen in other titles like the X-COM series, especially the acclaimed
UFO: Enemy Unknown which was also created by Julian Gollop and was
initially conceived as a sequel to Laser Squad.
***Gameplay***
Laser Squad is a turn-based tactics war game where the player completes objectives such as rescue or retrieval operations, or simply eliminating all of the enemy by taking advantage of cover, squad level military tactics, and careful use of weaponry. The squad's team members are maneuvering around a map one at a time, taking actions such as move, turn, shoot, pick up and so on that use up the unit's action points. More heavily laden units may tire more easily, and may have to rest to avoid running out of action points more quickly in subsequent turns. Morale also plays a factor; a unit witnessing the deaths of his teammates can panic and run out of the player's control.
