Jagged Alliance 2 (1999)

Once more it is proven that gameplay is far more important than graphics or sound: this game will fit right in with classics such as Civilization, X-com and The Operational Art of War, where most of the work has indeed gone into gameplay.

But even though the game runs well on low-end systems such as my own P120, it does have good cosmetics as well: the graphics may not be very detailed but the animations are smooth, and the sound is a thrilling combination of a blood-pumping martial music score and lively voice acting.
