Would buy a remastered version of the old "Star Wars Rebellion" PC game with up to date graphics and a tactical module that looks like this board game:

Flattop! I think that is its name. It would need AI so I could finally play it. I owned it as a kid with no one to play it against.

Carrier Strike was nearly same game for Atari nd Commodore, also played on my IBM PC...Nowadays, suggest you try WITP or WITP AE...Same concept on a much larger scale but smaller scenarios will work nicely.

I have both. [:D]

Have that from GOG - so old its unplayable really.

Did you get it all right? If like me when installing it may seem to crash\stop. Just close the Microsoft window not the game install window and it will then carry on

Wodin,

Thanks for the generous thought in pm'ing me the emulator,

Nicwb.

Command and Colors?

I would though love more Dan Verssen Games to have digital counterparts - Field Commander Napoleon, Gato Leader, U Boat Leader, Fleet Commander Nimitz, Modern Land Battles, Modern Naval Battles etc

I loved TF1942 MUCH more than "Great Naval Battles"(the series)...and also loved the ww2 European tank simulator "ACROSS THE RHINE"...think it was Microprose...They ran on my early IBM PC's...

I always loved SPI's Strategy I. It was an outstanding game. You could makeup any scenario you liked, from any period.

Yes it is, [:)] I no longer have it (one that got away)...do you still have yours?

Yes I do. I have not looked at it in many years (just play PC games these days). Another game (non-boardgame) I would like to see redone is Norm Koger's Age of Rifles (I helped playtest it). It was great.

+1...Miss that game!!!Norm Koger made great games.

oh i thought this was about making computer game versions of board games but if this thread is meaning old games too - well boyo boy i have a massive list on the top of which would you guessed it

Wargamer: Napoleon 1813

but also :

Blue Max
Das Boot
Rules of Engagement (this is one is probably one of the most unique strategy games i have ever encountered and it is brilliant)
Star Legions - this could be great and also unique a game where you manage a planetary invasion force, a great concept that the original game though didnt make the most of

Second Conflict

Novalogic's Wolfpack

Task Force 1942

Ancient Art of War in the Skies

Star Fleet

Napoleon I ( a really great and little known amiga game that actually frank hunter was behind, - similar to Campaigns on the Danube but a bigger scale )

Patriot form 360Pacific - a great concept, poor execution

5th Fleet

The Grandest Fleet


- the list is endless, fortunately these great old games are still around and can be bought for reasonable prices in their boxed splendour still on ebay!

Had to fiddle with it a bit but it set up OK

Once again thanks Wodin.

No probs.

I'll always try and help another member of the community if I can

Britannia!

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the OCS series.

I would buy up stat DAK 2, with the others to follow. Their "logistic first" mechanism, along with the great fluidity of play is unparalleled (I have both "Beyond the Rhine" and "The Blitzkrieg Legend", and the main problem is... you guessed it: space).
