SSG on TV

Roger Keating and Gregor Whiley feature in the latest Good Game tv show broadcast in Australia, focussing on war in video games.

Grognard points awarded if the original Battlefront graphics bring back some fond memories!

saw that, its good to see actual wargames get featured on the show as usually they only look at the big name titles. there was even a brief clip of Command Ops, Battles from the Bulge and Empire Deluxe.

its a shame they didnt mention Harpoon, as i think that game also has a big part in the history of computer wargames

Yes I was hoping for more focus on 2d 'hard core' wargames but 3D was the dominant theme.

Caught the programme on Tuesday. As you say GG usually focuses on shooters. The closest to strategy they get is Total War - a pity. But it was God to see Command Ops get a mention as well as SSG

Do I get extra grognard Points if I owned a copy of the games - they showed Carriers at War. I had that on an Apple IIe along with a few others.
