Sunflower Farm Boy Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Outstanding level of detail as each item in the soldiers kit is clearly defined right down to the small little water canteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone's doctoring? I'm honestly curious.Damn newbies... Those are screen shots of pre-alpha CMBO days, I think when it was CMBO still was called Beyond Squad Leader (or Computer ASL). My first reaction to seeing that pic the first time was: 'When can I preorder? ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColumbusOHGamer Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 I still remember being on the edge of my seat reading the AAR from Moon and ???. I remember the description of the rockets, tanks getting hung up in the snow and a Sherman tank getting wacked. I still get that feeling when I play today. This game really is too much fun!!!

Duke of Earl Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 The little arrow base markers look cool and seem practical too... always point in the facing direction... maybe this is mod'able?... Cordialement, Duke of Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquon Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Ahhh, the old days of the C64 version. I had to overclock my machine with 0.99 Mhz to play the larger scenarios. Modding required you to sketch the bitmap on rastered paper, then entering lots of zeroes and ones. My datasette took 15 minutes or more to load the game. Too bad it was never available on modern floppy discs. You've come a long way. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
