Guest Zulu1 Posted February 13, 2000 Share Posted February 13, 2000 The best that I've come across are: Carriers at War - believe it was by SSG. Not up to todays graphics but it played well. They had a Version II also. Carrier - not sure who made it. Same comments as above. You might find them at used software places. They haven't been published for a number of years.

Major Tom Posted February 13, 2000 Share Posted February 13, 2000 Well, the best PTO game I have seen, has to be Pacific War. This game came out in the early 1990's, so, it is graphically, well, sad. But, there is a project on the works to revamp the game, modernizing it and stuff.

Needed a patch, but that was before the WWW. Direct-dial BBS services were all that was around then on 2400 Baud modems at that. Never got the add-on though. Seems like I played that on my old 386-33MHz Speaking of 2400 Baud modems, I had to download a ~750K video card driver for Windows 3.0 from San Francisco to Illinois and it took about 50 minutes using a direct-dial call to a BBS! Long live local Internet Servers! Yes, Matrix Games is re-doing the Pacific War game. They're using satellite accurate maps instead of the original EGA maps, plus alot of new features. I think it'll be released Q2 or Q3 2000.

Peterk Posted February 13, 2000 Share Posted February 13, 2000 The best that I've seen: Carriers At War - SSG/ short-quick carrier engagements, no real long-campaigns Pacific War - SSI/ the whole bloody war in pretty high detail. I could never get into this one. The interface is _really_ clumsy IMHO. Don't laugh, the absolute best carrier game I ever played is an ancient thing by Gary Grigsby called Guadalcanal Campaign on Apple II+. This one is actually available for free in PC version somehwhere. Drop me an e-mail if you're interested and I'll hunt down the site. It's text only - graphics are non-existant - but it's the only game that really immersed me and made me feel that I was commanding a Pacific Fleet. p.

Guest Babra Posted February 13, 2000 Share Posted February 13, 2000 I had one which went under the title of World War Two. I think it was from SSI. It used the same scale as the old Flattop boardgame. Only problem was it used the internal clock on the computer to execute its turns, so on anything faster than a 50MHz machine it was unplayable. This online game General Sauce has found looks interesting... ------------------ Floreat Jerboa ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. Sosaboski Posted February 13, 2000 Author Share Posted February 13, 2000 Would you stop slaughtering my name?! Yeah, I played Santa Cruz against myself today on the online game and sunk all 4 Japanese carriers. Overwhelming American Victory ------------------ Sosabowski, 1st Pol. Abn.
