I guess Combined Arms will fill this niche, but I would still like to see an update to Operation Crusader and Velikiye Luki. Those games bring back such sweet memories of better times.

Status: offline 		Age of Rifles would be my top choice. Simply, I think, because I would still choose to play it rather than any of the more recent games. I can't honestly say that about the other suggestions, or indeed most of the Talonsoft stuff.

I would be good if they picked up Civil War Generals 3, too. I've no idea how far that got before it was cancelled.

Flight Commander II-- I still play this one. I do not believe much chance of this being available to Matrix but the addition of helicoptors, better air-to ground modeling, and air- to- ship modeling, as well as, some improvements in the campaign area would make make an amazing game even better.

Or maybe it is just time to stop with revisiting old friends and simply put all the possible resources into a NEW game.

Sierra claimed they were in the prototype stage when they decided to can it.

Ahhh, better times, well, maybe.

That code is so old it would be easier to start over rather than fix it up. Looks like Combined Arms is using the exact same deployment I designed for Amaerica Invades, so you should have pretty much the same game anyway.

Status: offline 		I'd love to see Matrix put together a series of the old C-64 / Apple SSI games ( Carriers at War, Kampfgruppe, the cold war games, ect... ) under a window. Not alot of bells and whistles or even alot of detail, just mabye a bit more realism with better graphics then the old days and sell 'em cheap. ( 15-20 I guess ). That would be nice for beer and pretzles games when we as games don't have an hour or two to play, but maybe 30 min to beat the Rebs at Antetim, Shilo, or whatever...

Anybody know of a free and reliable apple emulator for XP? I still have an unopened copy of CAW II for the Apple.
