Mr. Clark Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 Check out this totally bizarre WWII game coming out for the PS2.

M. Bates Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 From the site: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The story proposes an interesting alternate world - though the bomb hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, Japan continued fighting regardless. The Soviet Union regrouped sufficiently to direct forces toward an intensified land war in East Asia, and the result was a divided occupation of Japan, similar to Germany during the Cold War. This corner of the Cold War rapidly heats up, however, resulting in a Korea- or Vietnam-style conflict between the US-sponsored southern half of the nation and the communist North, backed by China and the USSR. By 1964, there is open warfare between the two territories, with one important difference from comparable conflicts in modern history: giant robots. More precisely, "multi-legged walking tanks," known as AFWs for short (Armored Fighting Walker, or somesuch - the Japanese are big fans of weird initialisms).<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Sounds like Vietnam but with robots.
