Has anyone played PTO IV

I run WinXP and PT02 worked just fine. If you do run into problems you can always get a SNES Emulator and play it that way.

Friends,

"Genghis Khan II" was a hell of a lot of fun and a challenging, as well -- look for it on one of the "Definitive" wargame collections put out by SSI some years ago. I think the disk has Romance III on it. Another great strategy game, and turn-based.

Did anyone else ever play "Shingen Takeda" on NES? I spent many an hour with that one, and I wish there was a pc version.

I loved Koei's awkward English, too.

FJ;


Who is the TOP guy on your post? I know who the bottom guy is. BTW...that is just about the harriest (sp?) guy I have ever seen. It looks like he takes a weed-eater to his neck to keep the brush down


I had already suspected that the Al Quaeda types had their development arrested in the 14th Century. This guy looks like his development was arrested in the late pleistocene.

That's sad to hear about PTO4. I still have an SNES packed away somewhere with PTO and PTO2. I had a blast with those. I guess they're the reason UV just seemed so familiar.

I tried running the PC version of PTO on Win98 a couple years ago.. and the damnable screen was so small I quit. I kept hearing the SNES version was better anyway. I wonder if mine still works.

Ya know I have heard so many nostalgic references to so many wargames that were made for machine X from pre PC era days.

But the one thing I always recall, was how the graphics on a then console machine were always so incredibly pixelated to the point that rendering the image or viewing it was just such a chore.

I recall for instance Civilization on a console, and how the image was completely incapable of competing even with a 386 system.

That and the games were often modified so that it wasn't even the same game fully.

In my own opinion, console games since the Playstation (and similar machine level tech for consoles) have only just become worthy as visual competition for PC based games.

Not that I want people to think I have always been entralled by PC based games of course. If you go back any further than a 386, you might as well forget my enthusiasm entirely.

Far be it for me to actually pick anything on a console system over a PC, but this is about the only case. Sure, PTO looked like crap on a TV, but it was the gameplay that made it fun. On a PC the resolution would have to be so low it didn't really make much of a difference between the two.

I haven't had a console since the Playstation and I really don't miss them at all. Pretty much only good for playing some football head to head with someone IMO. But I'd say PTO was the one bright spot I've seen and I've had various computers and consoles since the early to mid 80s.
