You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games''''' is a 1996 [[tactical role-playing game]] developed and published by [[Sir-Tech]] and a sequel to ''[[Jagged Alliance (video game)|Jagged Alliance]]''.

==Gameplay==
In ''Deadly Games'', the [[Player character|player]] takes a group of [[mercenaries]] through a series of missions. The missions are linked chronologically, removing the need for [[Micromanagement (computer gaming)|micro-management]] on a strategic map. The scenario branches somewhat depending on the player's successes and failures. There are multiple terrain types, the mercenaries are hired and fired between missions, and Micky, the first equipment trader of the series, offers his services; for example, he may occasionally sell the player junk equipment, thereby prompting the mercs to voice their displeasure with the deal. The game features the same [[Game engine|engine]] and [[top-down perspective]] as the original game. The scenario missions place the player under orders of soldier of fortune Gus Tarballs. Initially, they do not appear connected, however, the ultimate objective is to annihilate the DfK, an organisation attempting to launch satellites in space for destructive use. Non-scenario missions are also under the orders of Tarballs.

The most innovative aspects of ''Deadly Games'' include a wide variety of [[special forces|special ops]] mission types like hostage rescues, demolition and infiltration missions. It featured turn limits and a boosted [[Artificial intelligence in video games|artificial intelligence]] (AI) as well as [[Computer network|networked]] [[multiplayer]] capabilities. The integrated scenario and campaign [[Level editor|editors]] allow for the creation of custom strategic scenarios, adding to the [[replay value]]. Mercenary weapons can be modified by adding [[Telescopic sight|scopes]], [[Suppressor]]s and barrel extenders. Heavier equipment such as [[Grenade launcher]]s and [[Mortar (weapon)|mortars]] are available as well.

==Development==
In July 1996, Sir-Tech announced that ''Deadly Games'' would appear on the [[Total Entertainment Network]] multiplayer service.<ref name=ten>((cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970101093621/http://www.cdmag.com/news/0730961.html |url=http://www.cdmag.com:80/news/0730961.html |title=TEN snags another one |date=July 30, 1996 |work=[[Computer Games Magazine|Computer Games Strategy Plus]] |archive-date=January 1, 1997 |author=Staff |url-status=dead |access-date=January 29, 2020 ))</ref>

Like its predecessor, ''Deadly Games'' was a commercial success. [[William R. Trotter]] of ''[[PC Gamer US]]'' wrote that it "sold very well", while ''Jagged Alliance'' designer Ian Currie called it "hugely successful".<ref name=ja2scoop>((cite journal | author=Trotter, William R. | author-link=William R.

''Deadly Games'' was a runner-up for ''Computer Game Entertainment''(('))s 1996 "Best Strategy Game" prize, which ultimately went to ''[[Civilization II]]''.
