Great game by the way. Slightly OT but does anybody remember that old electronic board game from the early 80's in the D&D fantasy mold called "Dark Tower." Man, I used to love that game! Still have it but of course the damn thing won't work now. ------------------ Youth is wasted on the young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stone Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 In the board game category: DUNE, by Avalon Hill. This is one of the most balanced and fun strategy games I ever played. Rules are clearly defined and brief (by AH standards). If you ever run across a copy of it. BUY IT! Every winter, it seems 3 to 5 of us, get together and bust loose a couple games of this classic.

Scrogdog Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 Sure, I remember Dark Tower. As I'm sure many of us did, we got it in an attempt to get our friends to play *something*. I haven't seen a copy in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGA Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 I vote for "The Perfect General" by QQP. I played the first one at the amiga and I'm still playing number two, (that's until I get CM). There was also "Mac'Arturs war" at the old C64. HGA ------------------ "Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!"

JonMcGuire Posted December 20, 2000 Share Posted December 20, 2000 1. Battle of Gettysburg on the TRS-80 Color Computer. It had arty with big thumps and flashes on impact... ooo, multimedia (on my 9" color TV). 2. Ancient Art of War. The bottom line: many, many scenarios. The slouchy little army men reminded me of the half-dead guys in the mostly-forgotten Avalon Hill board game "Survival". The War at Sea version never caught my attention (I was hooked on AH's board game Wooden Ships & Iron Men -- there's a disappointing PC conversion for you, by the way). 3. Avalon Hill's Battle of Midway, proudly written in GWBASIC for the PC-XT. Probably the first one that played differently each time and was actually challenging. I still have the (heavily modified) code around here somewhere... if I could just find a 5.25" floppy drive... 4. Galactic Empire for the Sanyo MBC-550. Not a great game, but I mention it because it was the first computer program I sold for real money (at the ripe old age of 13). Mostly a rip-off of the same old Empire games that had already been floating around for 15 years, but "back in the day" that was SOP. And none of them, not even the venerable Dark Tower mentioned earlier, come within visual acquisition range of the amazement I felt in the first five minutes I spent with Combat Mission...
