What old games should Matrix snap up next

[Synjin]

Harpoon 4? [:(]

Any of the old SSI Civil War games.

I also LOVED the old vga monitor classic "F-19 Stealth Fighter" by Microprose. I played the hell out of that too. Deep incursions into Western Russia to take a snapshot of some radar station while flying <200 feet in the air the entire trip... at night: fun stuff.

I also liked the Close Combat series a lot until the series was bought and then torn apart by that new dev team.

Age of Rifles!

No Greater Glory!

On the other hand, it would be sufficient if someone would tell me how to run it under Windows XP [;)].

Master of Magic - loved that game (Ciz with a fantasy setting and RPG elements for those of you who haven't played it) .....

I think I still have that on an old computer somewhere. Haven't played that in ages. Great game.

Get DOSBox, that runs it...

Age of Rifles would be my top pick--and it is nice to see that it is a popular title.

Flight Commander 2 is still on my hard drive, but an updated version would be nice.

I think a new version of the original Wargame Construction Set, utilizing the power of modern PCs would also be very interesting.

Forgive my late reply on this.

I would LOVE to see Matrix get X-Com and its follow-ups. I just tried to get it running on my XP machine, and it was a no-go. [:(] It would be great to see them updated and refined somewhat.

SIM ANT!!!! hahaha I just found this old old game and I had forgotten how much fun it was. Graphics are dated of course, but, the gameplay is still there. Gettting an army of 50 ants and chasing that spider around the yard is still hilarious. Crushing the red ants before they crush me is still a challenge in every early game. The AI just isn't bright enough for a full scale yard war though, if I win the initial piece of dirt I always expand and win even when I let them get 3/4ths of the backyard/house. Sim Ant also brings new meaning to "FOOD FIGHT" haha

I 've been playing an old jem I found at a gametrader store about two months ago and must admit that for simple as its requirements are It's biteing into my SPWAW time considerably[;)] It's called sudden strike II and its made by CDV and fireglow this would be even more awesome if u could pick your force core like steel panthers campaigns but fun none the less RT

[Riun T]

the units have some trouble maintaining the formations on the move because of topo obsticales but the depictions of the vehicles and infantry units and weapons are quite nice.

[Riun T]

they took some time with this game and the programer knew what he was doing because it doesn't crash or glitch and all the functions that it states in the manual seem to work perfectly check this one out guys I haven't seen anything recent from fireglow so who knows?? RT

[ravinhood]

Was that series released before STARFORCE Ruin T? I been looking at the anthology since it's less than $10 now, but, if any of them have STARFORCE on them I'm not getting it anyway.

[Riun T]

The box says 2002 CDV software and entertainment AG and fireglow. I am not familiar with STARFORCE so I don't know? RT

[ravinhood]

Anyone know if STARFORCE is on the Sudden Strike series??

[Goblin]

I found this, and others, indicating it installs with Sudden Strike...Dunno for sure.

Thanks lots for those links GOBLIN I guess for now I'm gonna keep playing it but really watch how the rest of my system works aswell ? RT

[Zap]

Ravinhood,

I'm not sure if it does. But I have all of the series presently on my hard drive Sudden Strike, Sudden SrikeII, Sudden Strike Resources for years. I have played these games quite a bit, lots of fun!. Have not noticed any adverse effects to my system.

[ravinhood]

Thanks Goblin that's enough for me to stay clear of the anthology. CDV is well known for using starforce on other products anyway so not even gonna take a chance already lost two cdroms thanks to CDV and UBI software.
