He gernades you. Your squad die faster than a bunch of redshirts.

I still play tile world pretty frequently. I need to check if there's an android port for it.

Chips challenge I think was released by microsoft for the windows 98 gaming pack, so it should work on modern computers. The original (atari lynx I think) build of it of course would require emulation.
