Harpoon 4? [:(]

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.

Age of Rifles!

No Greater Glory!

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

Master of Magic - loved that game (Ciz with a fantasy setting and RPG elements for those of you who haven't played it) .....

I think I still have that on an old computer somewhere. Haven't played that in ages. Great game.

Get DOSBox, that runs it...



scriibe -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (3/30/2006 7:16:42 AM)

Age of Rifles would be my top pick--and it is nice to see that it is a popular title.

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.



Goblin -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/7/2006 10:52:06 PM)

Forgive my late reply on this.

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.

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



Riun T -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 5:48:23 AM)

I 've been playing an old jem I found at a gametrader store about two months ago and must admit that for simple as its requirements are It's biteing into my SPWAW time considerably[;)] It's called sudden strike II and its made by CDV and fireglow this would be even more awesome if u could pick your force core like steel panthers campaigns but fun none the less RT

Riun T -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 5:56:12 AM)

the units have some trouble maintaining the formations on the move because of topo obsticales but the depictions of the vehicles and infantry units and weapons are quite nice.

Riun T -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 6:01:22 AM)

they took some time with this game and the programer knew what he was doing because it doesn't crash or glitch and all the functions that it states in the manual seem to work perfectly check this one out guys I haven't seen anything recent from fireglow so who knows?? RT

ravinhood -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 6:52:43 AM)

Was that series released before STARFORCE Ruin T? I been looking at the anthology since it's less than $10 now, but, if any of them have STARFORCE on them I'm not getting it anyway.



Riun T -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 9:24:44 AM)

The box says 2002 CDV software and entertainment AG and fireglow. I am not familiar with STARFORCE so I don't know? RT



ravinhood -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 3:12:52 PM)

Anyone know if STARFORCE is on the Sudden Strike series??



Goblin -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 6:45:40 PM)

I found this, and others, indicating it installs with Sudden Strike...Dunno for sure.

Riun T -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 7:12:21 PM)

Thanks lots for those links GOBLIN I guess for now I'm gonna keep playing it but really watch how the rest of my system works aswell ? RT



Zap -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/8/2006 10:28:13 PM)

Ravinhood,

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.



ravinhood -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/9/2006 11:24:29 PM)

Thanks Goblin that's enough for me to stay clear of the anthology. CDV is well known for using starforce on other products anyway so not even gonna take a chance already lost two cdroms thanks to CDV and UBI software.



watchtower -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/10/2006 12:17:00 AM)

This was a thread about What old games should Matrix snap up next: NOT STARFORCE:

there is another thread about that chestnut- Ravinhood - you hijacker[:D][:D][8D][:-]




wodin -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/10/2006 2:20:49 PM)

The only RTS game worth getting along those lines are the Close Combat games. Ive owend the SS series and its a click fest.

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.

Give Dean Essig a call (if he’s still alive) and work a deal to produce/support a computer version of all of The Gamer’s Civil War Brigade series games.

I've got 4 of 'em done for VASSAL if you can live without computer AI.

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)



donkuchi19 -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/14/2006 3:34:56 AM)

I would also love to see a remake of Red Storm Rising. I had it for my old Commodore Amiga. That was the most fun I had with any sub simulation that I ever had.



madflava13 -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/15/2006 5:48:38 PM)

+1 for Red Storm Rising and the X-Com series... Both highly addictive!



ravinhood -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/16/2006 1:06:01 AM)

STAR CONTROL!!! Launch Fighters Launch Fighters haha my favorite race.

Looks good Gary. I’ll give it a go sooner or later. Thanks.

TracGunny -> RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next (4/26/2006 9:01:51 PM)

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...
