NGN: “On one of your free weekends, when youre double checking your list of Childhood experiences everyone should have (and if you dont have such a list, get writing!), make sure you have a check mark next to Play with Plastic Soldiers. Action figures dont count, mind you, but Cowboys and Indians or even a solid set of Lego figurines will do just as well. Plastic army playtime is such a fundamental part of play that a few years ago when one of my roommates casually dropped a five dollar bag of plastic soldiers in my dorms common room, it was surprising how many of my college buddies put down their Gamecube controllers to fiddle with their small armies. The point is that theres no more classic arena of play than making your own small army. Similarly, theres no more classic conflict of play than humans versus aliens. Smack these two facts together, and the new RTS game Tryst is built on rock solid ground.”
