Anyone remember the now defunct Novastar Game Co? They took over publishing and creating scenario bundles for some of SSI's old Grigsby and Kroger titles like Pacwar, Steel Panthers and Tanks! Then one day they went poof. While searching for what had become of them I finally stumbled on Matrix. Matrix...please don't become defunct.

Probably heard about Matrix from The Wargamer.

Back in January I was in PC World looking for a new game and came across Combat Mission Anthology (1,2,3) for a few quid. I had only really played RTS games before this and mistakenly thought CM would be a WW2 RTS. I couldnt stop playing it, and after a few weeks wanted more of the same. I searched PC world for something similar - no luck. I had a search on the web for WW2 based strategy games - looking for proper, deep, turn based wargames - and found..... BiN. I paid for and eagerly downloaded one night after work and almost pulled an overnighter! (4am as I recall - tried and failed not to wake the wife when coming to bed! [>:] [&:] [:-]) Since then I have bought KP and its expansion, HttR, and GGWaW. I have also just got BiI (arggh not enough hours!) Overall I cannot fault Matrix - the quality and depth of these games is exceptional and I'm sure other games in their arsenal are equally good (as I will find out over time im sure )

Some people really do convert from Rts to computer turn based! And Swedester discovered the true reason why turn based is better. That is really good news! Welcome Swedester and much happy gaming.

I really have no idea when I found Matrix. I was a long, long time ago. In a city far, far away from where I am now. I heard about SPWAW somewhere(who knows) and that's how this crack like addiction startred. SPWAW has never, ever left my computer(s). As of today I own almost every game Matrix has published. It is a typical marriage: I own nearly every game Matrix has published. Like any marriage there have been ups and downs. But I must say; even the games that did not addict me were worth the price I paid for them. No other computer company has been so successful at producing so many 'bang for buck' games. Thanks to all you folks. David

Terminus -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/8/2005 4:03:36 PM)
It's been so long that I barely remember by now; I think it was the old Pacific War and War in Russia remakes that introduced me to the company. No looking back since then! [:D]

coregames -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/8/2005 9:01:01 PM)
I was following ADG's development of Computer World in Flames and one day was surprised to see they had turned it over to Matrix. Since then I have followed the WiF forum closely, and been warmly received by the Matrix community; Now, having played GGWaW, I wish I could have discovered Matrix sooner.

Ursa MAior -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/8/2005 9:25:46 PM)
I was looking for a patch to upgrade my 20 wargames classic War in Russia, way back in 1999. But only joined the forums recently.

Graymane -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/8/2005 9:37:01 PM)
Found via a post over in the Paradox forums for one of the WW 2 games there, so I came here and bought WaW and then WiTP. I like the community so far and the support seems pretty good. I just hate hex games in general, but I guess I have to get over that for these :)

For the record I found Matrix back with the release of Starships Unlimited... Ironically enough this did not lead me to work for Matrix, that's another story of weird luck and coincidence. -Joe

Nikademus -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/9/2005 11:32:37 PM)
Been with Matrix from the start. (SPWAW version 1.0) Overall it's been a great relationship though Matrix owes me Pizza still for hitting 5000 posts.

The first time must have been in 2001 or 2002, a full version of Pacific war came with a finnish gaming magazine (yes, I'm a Finn) and since then I've been knowledged of the company, but until now I have not been so keen of Matrix games.

Muzrub -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/14/2005 4:57:50 AM)
I joined in Feb 2001 upon hearing about a new game matrix was releasing.......... Its still in development and I'm sure we all know the game I am talking about! Being an old mixer at Ryans forum and SSI I suppose I had no choice but to end up here.

Bossy573 -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/15/2005 3:11:50 AM)
When I purchased Korsun Pocket. The relationship is, from my standpoint, great. The games I have purchased so far are good. The relationship will be infinitely better as soon as a few of the titles I am REALLY looking forward to are released. [;)]

sadja -> RE: How did you find Matrix? How's the relationship going? (6/15/2005 6:29:57 AM)
Saw an ad in World War II magazine ad for WITP, got on the web site and have been playing WITP ever since. Looking at SPWAW played original DOS game many years ago. Love PBEM Sadja

Some friends at a bar were discussing the worst movie they had ever seen. The name Uncommon Valor came up. Horrific movie w/ Gene Hackman (probably needed to make a mortgage payment at the time) and Patrick Swayze. I couldn't recall exactly who was in it so I did a search and came up with all these matrix games hits. Being a devoted wargamer, I ordered it immediately. Haven't been disappointed since . . . well, exept for that B-17 tweak on v1.2 or whatever it was.
