Matrix Games Forums

For me it's WWI turn based aerial wargame. I'd been playing one online that is more or less a PBEM game online but I'd really like one I can play all the time solo. Long time ago SSI put one out called merely "Eagles" and I haven't seen anything like it since. If you know of something turn based and not an online java game please let me know as I really enjoyed the old C64 game of Eagles.

For me it's to get HPS into the boat, so their titles become downloadable and convincing Mr. Verssen to computerize his board games. Also I would like to see a WitP AE counterpart for the European theatre. East Front on regimental level with daily turns and German production.

HPS would be cool.. cause there isn't any active forums for them, and I just bought my first one last month!.. At least Matrix has 'active' forums.. where one can go for Noobie Help!

I second the wish for an in depth East Front strategic game.

Also, I have long had an interest in ancients, but have never had one of those games. Something that has a nice 3d battlefield with some pre battle maneuver for a particular battle with a somewhat historical setting would be very nice.

For me it's Zulu Wars. I want to be Michael Cain.

CMurphy, have you been to the Wargamer forum? HPS does have a presence there, and they seem to respond to questions.

thought all the ones I found in Google seemed kind of dead.. maybe I was on the wrong ones.. what's the link for Wargamers?

Man you just had to say 'link' now I have a craving for a barbequed hot link sandwish.

Found this one.. but this is downright dead!

I echo the sentiments above... I would LOVE to see HPS games available for download through Matrix. I buy a lot of them (at NWS) but I'd buy lots more if I had that instant gratification factor working for spontaneous downloads in the wee hours of the morning. The forum support would be tremendous as well. There really isn't that much HPS support out there that's active.

Just my vote.

Forgot to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving yesterday (I was down in SnowFlake having dinner with the Navajo family that "adopted me" when I came out here five years ago). I hope you all had a great one! [:)][:)][:)]

HPS also has forums at Gamesquad and also many mods for the games are archived there for download.

Cmurphy,

Well if you were expecting forums like Matrix, I doubt that will happen. Matrix promotes and encourages, involvement. I don't see HPS doing the marketing work that Matrix puts into their site.

For me it's the Adventures of Zork!!

Yep, forgot about them. Ran over and checked them out and there is some decent stuff there, but I read everything in a couple of hours so it's still not anything like the depth of comment you get on some of the Matrix games here. I'd still like to see HPS on Matrix.

War Plan Orange.

"Tin Soldiers:Napoleon"

The series may be dead, but for me there is a need for a miniatures on the computer Napoleonic game. It should be 3D with a rotatable camera and can look like a well done tabletop game setup. An easy to use editor should be included for players to recreate any Napoleonic era battles.

I know, the game doesn't cover actual WWI battles.I was just putting it out there just in case you didn't know.

Not WWI, but there is the old standbys of; Achtung Spitfire, Over The Reich, and the semi-modern Flight Commander. All are turn-based aerial combat (if you find originals, I can help you to get the former two to run fine on at least XP). And of course there is always the original Eagles (the computer knockoff of AH's Richtofen's War[/i]), which runs fine under several different emulators. Not to mention the WWII based (computer knockoff of AH's Air Force) Computer Air Combat (& Data Disk for Apple Only), put out in the same era by the same company (although for you commies it was called Wings Of War).
