Shadow Army

When I was in high school, I used to play a game called "Syndicate" on my cousin's Apple Macintosh. In the game, there were no countries anymore. There were only corporations battling for control of the earth. Your job as CEO was to use your 4 man team of cyborg mercenaries to kill rival syndicate leaders and opposition, steal scientists, or control the mind of the masses all in the name of world corporate domination.

Charming game, right?

The documentary "Shadow Company" is a great documentary about mercenaries in Iraq. If you can find it, check it out.

FYI:
The Mac I played "Syndicate" on, I think, had a 133mHz processor. It was the BOMB!
