OT: Market Garden Games

[heliodorus04]

I'm kind of craving a Market-Garden historical game, preferably turn-based.
I've seen the Close Combat series of games, but I've never played one, and they are RTS.
Ten years ago there was a cool one that was real-time/pausable.

I don't see any on Matrix's games list, and the scale of War in the West doesn't do it for me as a reproduction. PM me if you know any that you can recommend.
Thx.

What about the various scales/variation of Market Garden for TOAW III?

V for Victory is good, though dated.

Besides, you look for this game: http://www.panthergames.com/2013/12/hig ... Og5-BmtbqA
It's now a campaign pack on updated engine. I think they moved to new publisher, which is why you can't find the game here.

i own and have played all version of market garden battles in almost all formats from zx spectrum days onwards as it's my favourite battle

tm.asp?m=3807002&mpage=1&key=�

must admit there not many that beat the zx spctrum one for shear game play and units and battles involved either, the later ones all fall short in one way or another, either to complicated or poor maps or AI or too much time spent on supply and not another on anything else...

all above are good, but not had one that captured the old feel of the battle which the zx spectrum version did, with poor sounds and poor graphics, it still plays well today even on win 8.1

also agree with v4victory one as well, another well done one

R.T. Smith, the creator and programmer for the fabulous game Encyclopedia of War: Ancient Battles, created a trio of World War Two games a few year earlier for the Spectrum computer that were later converted to the PC: Arnhem, Vulcan, and Desert Rats.

for android,

then back to the pc with operation-market-garden-drive-on-arnhem-september-1944

i could post a few more on different platforms, as i have them, but unless you have the hardware or emulator it not worth it

never tried TOAW III either, so can't comment on there attempt, bit may get it one day[;)]

I would recommend the command ops engine in combination with Highway to the Reich but I don't think you can buy it anywhere any longer....

+1 for the Highway to the Reich series.

Also, an older game (2007) but very enjoyable - I still play the Market Garden or Gazala scenario every now and then - is Battlefront.
