Jagged Alliance Goes Online in 2011

When we hear the words [app=4428]Jagged Alliance[/app], a place full of warm, fuzzy, turn-based memories springs up inside our addled gamer minds. 1994 and MS-DOS were both in full swing and we had an island full of super-miracle nuclear sap to save with our burgeoning crew of gnarly mercenaries. It was glorious, and guess what? It’s coming back next year – online, as a browser-based tactical MMORPG.

Jagged alliance 3 has been basically cancelled a few times by the publisher now due to rubbish quality.

At least one of the versions has been released under a different name, but it was pretty bad (Hired Guns - the jagged edge).

The games been cancelled so many times now its basically vapourware
