What old games should Matrix snap up next

[benpark]

Matrix should finish what is on it's plate before any desert.

I'd love to see Matrix put together a series of the old C-64 / Apple SSI games ( Carriers at War, Kampfgruppe, the cold war games, ect... ) under a window. Not alot of bells and whistles or even alot of detail, just mabye a bit more realism with better graphics then the old days and sell 'em cheap. ( 15-20 I guess ). That would be nice for beer and pretzles games when we as games don't have an hour or two to play, but maybe 30 min to beat the Rebs at Antetim, Shilo, or whatever...

Ive heard grumblings that they are working on upgrading Carriers at War. Im not sure if its SSG or Matrix but I was told very little just that it was being worked on.

Anybody know of a free and reliable apple emulator for XP? I still have an unopened copy of CAW II for the Apple.

Support/produce/develop the release of Stars: Supernova Genesis.

Oh boy would this be great! I think it would cost too much to get it from what I've read.... sad thing too, such an awesome game. I still play Stars! [:)]

[watchtower]

Stars was a great game for it's time - But the one to redo is still Colonization for me[:D]

Thanks for the link. I had the old APPLE II version many years ago. As I recall it came in a large folder like a phonograph album.

I had to order it just for the nostalgia factor (and to support those guys). For what's it's worth, the new CAW XP compatible version is selling for $27 (discounted from $39) so it's a bargain right now.

How about KOEI's PTO? With some improvements of course.

[pauk]

Road to Moscow

Hanibal (did someone played this game - it was game with excellent ideas)

[Tanaka]

Master of Magic

Master of Orion Series

[Maliki]

Age of Rifles.

W@W games would be real coups.

I really enjoyed the W@W games!

There would need to be some changes to "take advantage of computing to make wargaming better" as I keep saying.

For those that did buy the complete carriers at war for XP how is the game? Can you tell me what the scenarios are included is there a listing somewhere of the old scenarios and the 32 new ones?

I know NWS also sells a copy for 24.99 I was always looking at getting it but not sure what scenarios are there if anybody can help that would be much appreciated


thanks

One I just found in the atic and used to play to death was the Battle Isle series - except the last one

[Catphish]

How about GARY Gs old C64 NATO Commander that was a great game and there is nothing on NATO/WP warfare at that scale out right now or
try GDWs The third World war series (this would be a larger undertaking however there is a Vassel version avb right now)

VGs Nato next war in Eurpoe is another ( I played this one more than GDW it does not take as much room)\
