Actualy Eric it was a P.C. game, I have a copy of the DOS game
myself. It was very cool back then. Now it just sits in a plastic
bag with a lot of other old CD's I will never play again! ;)

The one I surely miss is Decision in the Desert, one of the games in the Microprose's Command series (or whatever), like Crusade in Europe (also fun) and the third game based in Vietnam (which I actually play on my Nokia Communicator via the C64 emulator).

Decision... was fun, showed actual combat strength and losses (the # of men, tanks, planes) - none of that 15-4 (combat value - movement value) crap there. It plays easy, is way ahead of its time (mid to late 80's), better graphics than HPS games today, and won't last a year to finish. A great "quickie".

Just haven't found another North African campaign game to be as much fun...
