But, never did?....I always liked the American Heritage games when I was a kid, Broadsides, Dogfight and Battle Cry. Those were some of my greatest memories playing against my friend with them. Broadsides and Dogfight especially.

What game(s) would you like to see come to the PC?



Cataphract88 -> RE: What game do you wish they would make a PC game of ? (11/29/2016 12:08:14 AM)

Squad Leader or Advanced Squad Leader.

There are none that need to be made at this point. Im still trying to catch up to the dozens already made.

Weeeeeeeell If it was just a matter of putting the board game onto a computer so as to eliminate the usual "where to put it to play it."

The Longest Day.

With the understanding it would have no AI, no AI would ever be coming, and multi player only if you could find people willing to realize the interaction would not alter from the board game at all.

And Up Front done the way they do Hearthstone ie an online game interface between too people. With no collectible aspect though.

I think Columbia Games has a number of games that would be fun as a live experience design too.

No idea what Hearthstone is, but you may still want to check out http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/Module:Up_Front

A hex based game on the American Civil War and the Korean War.(There were a couple good ones in the days of DOS but today's technology would really be a vast improvement).

I agree..

A Commander series Civil War (CTCW) hex style, none of all auto resolve battles like in wego Ageoad stuff, let the player get the action...

Flattop! I think that is its name. It would need AI so I could finally play it. I owned it as a kid with no one to play it against.



rocketman71 -> RE: What game do you wish they would make a PC game of ? (11/29/2016 5:48:37 PM)

Steve Jackson's Car Wars and I'm not countning that crappy one from the 90s. T

Warbirds:Canvas Falcons (Designer on the look out for someone to convert to PC) Highly detailed and complex game totally suited for a PC conversion. Would make a great companion game to Bloody April.

Wings of Glory (again lots of failed attempts but designer wants to see it on the PC)

Streets of Stalingrad. Expect to see a review of the new edition, which is due to launch early next year, over at the blog (I do know they'd like to see a PC conversion)

NUTS! with Clash of Titans and Stalingrad expansions by Two Hour Wargames. (Designer on the look out for someone to convert to PC) This would be the greatest man vs man wargame to be developed onto the PC.

Car Wars and expansions. Using the last decent set of rules that came in the deluxe version.


One of the games I wanted to see was Bloody April and thankfully that's going to happen! Now to see those above converted.



MrsWargamer -> RE: What game do you wish they would make a PC game of ? (11/29/2016 10:48:49 PM)

Hmm they vassaled The Longest Day eh, had thought maybe, was not sure. Thanks 'E' :) not much of a name to point at hehe.

You have not heard of Hearthstone eh. That's like saying "what's ASL?" :) Oh well, I don't imagine anyone on a Hearthstone forum has any clue what ASL means.

I might pursue looking into the Vassal module.

Would love to see a modern version of this game, and also Avalon Hill's Midway.

Was this the game with Persian, Carthiginian and maybe Roman?

If so, I think that was the game that introduced me to this hobby. My wife and I picked it up in a Krochs and Brentano's book store in the chicago northwest suburbs.

Love the combat\driving mechanics in Darkwind. I'd like to see a WW1 air combat game using similar mechanics but adding a Z axis.

Do wish though Darkwind had a proper offline single player game.

' The Conquerors' by SPI, was actually three games in one
It was about Alexander's invasion of the Persian empire, along
With the Roman wars against Phillip V and Antiochus the Great.



Mobius -> RE: What game do you wish they would make a PC game of ? (11/30/2016 2:38:27 PM)

I liked a little board game called 'Source of the Nile'. I made a little ANSI computer game of it long ago. A graphical computer game might be fun. But this was many years ago so it might not be in today's tastes.

That was great little Exploration-Strategy game! I certainly have a taste for a game like that and were probably not alone...it would be a good graphical conversion! [:)]

Like to see the SPW series get the Decision Games War in Europe treatment.

Carrier Strike was nearly same game for Atari nd Commodore, also played on my IBM PC...Nowadays, suggest you try WITP or WITP AE...Same concept on a much larger scale but smaller scenarios will work nicely.



m10bob -> RE: What game do you wish they would make a PC game of ? (11/30/2016 4:46:05 PM)

Just for the helluvit..."Crush,Crumble and Chomp" offered several major cities, (Tokyo, NYC, London, Frisco...and even Sheboygan, LOL..

Player could creat one of maybe 20 famous old movie monsters (Godzilla, Rodan, King Kong, etc...and went about tearing stuff up...Lotta fun and ya got points for survivng the attempts from puny humans trying to avoid being eaten, (Oh, yeah...the great sound effects of people screaming and then slow chewing noises.) LOL....

Another game was something like Treausre Conquest where you went into a town...bought treasure maps and "clues" from shady characters and then financed a team to go deep sea or SCUBA diving for treasure in the oceans.

An earlier attempt with "dot" graphics was Mare Tesoro....Same concept as above.


Scads of ideas for "Beer and Pretzel" type games which might yield a quick buck for a game company...games like Railroad Tycoon, but involving building an empire of MISSISSIPI RIVERBOATS...There are several rivers which were navigable running off that great river and the history and importance of the bats was monumental.

Heck, I would even volunteer to do the historic research on that one!!!

Oh yes. I've dreamt of this! It would all depend on the implementation and interface. I've had ideas on it and if done the way I imagine I think it would be great.

They made a game simular to this for the Amiga 500 if I remember correctly called "Waterloo" it was a command and control game where you sent messages only to your commanders and they tried to carry them out. But, it had block units with these types of graphics. I liked it at the time. I really do like command and control games where I am just the commander and can't exploit he ai so easily if I play all the units. It's on the PC now as well so you can probably get a DoxBox version to work.

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt... Carrier Force, Carriers at War, Carrier Strike, etc, etc. (although I've been too lazy to fix my copy when Vassal 2.6'ish broke it, there is a Vassal module for Flattop... you might actually find someone to play it against!)
