Any of the old SSI Civil War games.

I also LOVED the old vga monitor classic "F-19 Stealth Fighter" by Microprose. I played the hell out of that too. Deep incursions into Western Russia to take a snapshot of some radar station while flying <200 feet in the air the entire trip... at night: fun stuff.

I also liked the Close Combat series a lot until the series was bought and then torn apart by that new dev team.

On the other hand, it would be sufficient if someone would tell me how to run it under Windows XP .

Flight Commander 2 is still on my hard drive, but an updated version would be nice.

I think a new version of the original Wargame Construction Set, utilizing the power of modern PCs would also be very interesting.

I would LOVE to see Matrix get X-Com and its follow-ups. I just tried to get it running on my XP machine, and it was a no-go. It would be great to see them updated and refined somewhat.

Status: offline 		SIM ANT!!!! hahaha I just found this old old game and I had forgotten how much fun it was. Graphics are dated of course, but, the gameplay is still there. Gettting an army of 50 ants and chasing that spider around the yard is still hilarious. Crushing the red ants before they crush me is still a challenge in every early game. The AI just isn't bright enough for a full scale yard war though, if I win the initial piece of dirt I always expand and win even when I let them get 3/4ths of the backyard/house. Sim Ant also brings new meaning to "FOOD FIGHT" haha

I'm not sure if it does. But I have all of the series presently on my hard drive Sudden Strike, Sudden SrikeII, Sudden Strike Resources for years. I have played these games quite a bit, lots of fun!. Have not noticed any adverse effects to my system.

Close Combat gets my vote. Though I'd want to get new games (but keep them overhead 2D) and not just a re-release of the series since I already own them and they work fine in XP.

How about Imperialism 2


I preferred the original Imperialism. I actually kept an old computer on the side for a few years until it died just so that I could play that game. It didn't work with the next version of Windows which is why I kept the old system. I would play that game for hours and hours. (It caused several late night (early morning??) fights with my wife)

Status: offline 		The Ironclads plus the Expansion Pack -originally released by Yaquinto, sold to Excalibur Games (who shipped a 2nd edition that is no longer in print), now owned by Thoroughbred (?), a miniatures company... great WEGO board game that the Miniatures Warriors easily adapted to their passion. I can see this game produced in the style of TS:ATG with a WEGO system that allows reaction phases so that golden opportunity for a full broadside with 15 inch Dahlgren’s doesn't float on by...
