I'll get you a cat so that you can have a CTTT
(crash to table top)
Damn, that is funny. And true. I replace every cat that dies in our home simply because I cannot fathom setting up War in the Pacific, with it's 9,000 counters, and not having a CTTT!

My all time favorite game! Sure wish a developer would come along to take advantage of the dedicated fan base! Funny...every developer seems to be pushing graphics and tablet PC apps... in a very crowded market space. Seems to me that an established market with a proven game design on a broad based platform would be an easier way to go...
...of course it's not my money on the table...

You probably nailed it right there. Much more to be made in simple, watered down games and versions of games.

Most new games seem to be more and more shallow and concentrate on graphics instead of content.
I bought Battle Academy when it was new, hoped it would be something like Steel Panthers, played two scenarios, not my thing. Never touched it since.

Now that you mention it... great idea. What party has the rights to SP? ( I did know it but keep forgetting it)

SP actually works pretty well for me on windows 7, it's just the graphics that are odd sometimes.
The most important thing SP would have needed was a better AI and better force selection for the AI. I refer to SPWAW BTW, which I thought was the best of them.

Hi guys
I am finding that I am struggling more and more to get SP, in any version (Both Matrix and Camo) to run happily on my computer.
I am no expert, but I am guessing that the game is just getting too old for newer PC's. It's a shame, because I have always loved that game, from the very first day it came out.
So, I am wondering, what would people say is the closest 'spiritual successor' to SP that is on the market today.
Many thanks in advance
Wyke/Dave
PS
Oh yes, I am using a newish computer running Windows Vista
Get a copy of Dosbox and/or D-fend Reloaded and you can run it in DOS mode without a hitch. That's how I run my copy now.
