Yeah Wodin I've seen it, wasn't impressed, there's no "tactical" combat, it's all AI controlled, merely selecting which plane to attack doesn't hold much value with me. I want a more Blue Max/Eagles type of WWI airwar game. I want to loop the loop and barrel roll, dive and climb, spiral out of control, lol heck even the old Milton Bradley "Dogfight" game was more fun than Wings over France.

MB Dogfight... loved that game... along with MB Broadside and MB American Civil War. Dogfight and Broadside got most of the playtime though. Civil War was just too unrealistic though.

Don't forget the 4th one in that series--Hit the Beach--which was probably the most unrealstic of the four...

I LOVED the way you removed the masts from the ships in Broadsides--it was so cool having those plastic miniatures to play with!

Monopoly! The war of ecconomics!

That was my fav game back in highschool.
Ahh the good ol' days! :P

Great Naval Battles of the North Atlantic...this was a good one...just think of the upgraded graphics etc...once you have the basic game done you can do a Jutland Mod for it.

Tanaka said earlier in this thread get the rights to MOO III and re do the dang thing...you want a 4X classic redo this mess

a non war/space kinda game I always loved was Capitalism...an accountants wet dream..LOL

I loved Great Naval Battles of the North Atlantic! Didn't care for II and III as much though. It would be ideal for a WWI naval simulator though. Perhaps with the ability to map out tactics for various divisions (vital for a huge fleet action) while still letting you jump into a turret and fire off a few salvos!

I'm also thinking back to Avalon Hill's Jutland game. While crawling around on the floor with cardboard ship counters and movement gauges got a bit hard on the knees, elbows, and back [;)] what I really remember from that game was the pre-game mapping of your battle plans by both sides. Then the overlayed plot sheets were held up to the light to determine where your fleets would encounter each other. I would definitely want that kind of strategic planning option included in a new game.

AH's The Third Riech, though I'm thinking Gary Grisbys Waw might be a better game! At least from the first look at the screen shots it seems to be.

"War in Flames" is gonna be the killer when it's finally released 4 years from now. lol

And yeah Broadsides was a lot of fun, shame I lost a bunch of the masts over the years, Dogfight and Broadsides got played the most though, I also had "Battle-Cry" the Civil War game by Milton Bradley, actually still have it in good shape, it didn't get played much and "Hit the Beach" lol, that was horrible. Glad I didn't buy that one.

Ok my 2 or 3 cents.

Xcom of course, probably my all time fav computer game, only one to cost me a GF and a job.
No Greater Glory type civil war game. I liked the political aspect but of course the military aspect was a joke.
Take the MOO frachise away from those who gave us MOO III.
Oh and Emperor of the Fading Suns, I know there is a group out there trying to remake that one, it was probably no 2 on my list.


I can think of no other game more worthy of a remake or a better space/sci-fi setting than the Fading Suns. An incredibly rich universe, the dark gothic setting. The orginial had an incredible amount of promise. It is ashame that Matrix's effort with Holistic Design, the company that has the intellectual property rights for the Fadings Suns, and Emperor of the Fading Suns were unable to complete the attempt at finally finishing the Noble Armada game. A shame really.

I think there could be immense potential if you married the Fading Suns universe and took elements from Paradox Entertianment's Crusader Kings and you could have a very interesting game. In particular if you throw in star-ship design like the MOO series of games, and Space Empires. That could be an incredible game.

Has anyone ever crafted a computer version of "Broadsides"?

That would translate well to a computer environment, with thundering guns and visuals of crashing masts. The old "Enter the Harbor" scenario could be expanded to include a variety of challenges (game editor included?) and you could have huge fleets to maneuver.

Not a Matrix level challenge, but Hasbro (or whoever owns the MB game rights) is missing the boat in not bringing this to the computer gaming market.



SMK-at-work -> RE: What OLD titles would you like to see Matrix remake/publish? (6/16/2006 4:42:11 AM)

I'd like to put in another vote for Fighter Command, and also USAAF - both very simple games that lad no graphics to speak of at al but relied for tension upon seeing plans succeeed....or fail.

Great games - doesn't seem to be anything much like them around any more.



watchtower -> RE: What OLD titles would you like to see Matrix remake/publish? (6/16/2006 5:28:23 AM)

Wizards Crown. Nuf said.



Kuokkanen -> RE: What OLD titles would you like to see Matrix remake/publish? (6/16/2006 10:21:07 AM)

Has Panzer General been mentioned? Or Battle Isle?

SSI - Warship and Battlecruiser - so much better than the HPS games out right now with more flexability ( I used to play them on my IPAQ with pocktdos ! )

GNBNA - just make it XP compatible with a big time scenario editor with DB back to 1898 for the armored cruisers to battlewagon age... [:D]

GNBNA seems to garner a lot of votes. Methinks this would be worth pursuing for possible Matrix acquisition. I never played Warship or Battlecruise so can't comment on those, but GNBNA would be quite attractive if updated and polished a bit. I could even see a version for modern naval combat. Yes, you would have to add a CIC screen for plotting long range attacks and intercepts, but imagine the fun of going up on the bridge and seeing that missile flying at you and hearing the close defense batteries spring into action! Imagine ordering a missile launch and watching the missiles flying off over the horizon. Imagine watching an air strike launching from the carrier you are escorting and so forth. I think it's got potential. Of course, if this could be added onto Harpoon IV?



Bloodybucket28th -> RE: What OLD titles would you like to see Matrix remake/publish? (6/19/2006 10:10:42 AM)

A strategic level American Civil War game, similiar to "A House Divided", "The Civil War" by Victory Games, "For the People", or any other classic game covering the entire ACW.

I think there was some noise about using the engine from "GGWAW" to do this.



Marauders -> RE: What OLD titles would you like to see Matrix remake/publish? (6/26/2006 7:31:06 AM)

I would love to see Command HQ redone, but true to its roots and quick n' easy gameplay. That is the game that got me into PC gaming and many thousands of $$ later, here we are.
