The premise, in the publisher's words
The collapse of Robert Maxwell's Mirrorsoft empire in late 1991 had disasterous effects on the UK computer games market, as the Mirrorsoft and Imageworks labels published some great games not long beforehand. UbiSoft stepped in to buy the rights to these two, and issued them as a great-value double pack. Mega Lo Mania was an original strategy game with an evolutionary theme and distinct humour, as you battled with 3 other would-be Gods for control of 27 territories before facing the final Mother of All Battles. First Samurai was an arcade adventure set in medieval Japan, with your character aiming to avenge the killing of his master.
