I think they should change it to yards instead of meters. [:'(]

I'd love to see an Alpha Centauri remake that wasn't the "flop" Civilization Beyond Earth became. Don't get me wrong, Civ BE isn't awful. But I, and a lot of others, went into it believing it was going to somewhat follow the path of Alpha Centauri and adopt many of the things that made that game great. Unfortunately it didn't. Crossing my fingers the expansion will add more! [:)]
I play and commentate games with a heavy emphasis on 4x, Strategy, Tycoon, and Roguelikes.

i came across a much older thread that i was almost about to resurrect, but this one will do - the question is a fun one still and being that Steel Tigers is underway now, what classic or old game can we dream about next?

My reason for this right now is that iwas just looking in an old issue of CGW from 1987 and saw listed some of M Evans Brooks reviews for old games i had not heard of such as Seventh Fleet, and a whole slew of SimCan titles. looking this up in google took me to the Matrix forums to 2005 and people were listing these and also unanimous in their desire for Great Naval Battles 1 again - i would agree to this, and 11 years later i wonder if anybody else does too? or like alot of things am i alone here also and silly for even looking at this thread again?

Not silly. It is a good topic for discussion.

There were a lot of good games designed in the 1980's that need to be turned into computer games.

Here is one of my favorites:

Chickamauga - designed by Jon Southard.

It had a unique command point system.
That system won it best pre-20th century game in 1986.

This is a good animated map of the battle.

Definitely "Napoleon 1813". Great game dynamics and concepts and a very good graphics for that time, poor support and realization unfortunately.

great - interesting, i agree with Napoleon 1813 if you are meaning the one by Steve Green who also was behind Fields of Glory -I have been saying that Wargamer Napoleon 1813 is one of the best concept campaign games ever, if only it wasnt abandoned before its game breaking bugs were fixed

there were some computer game versions of Chickamauga too back in the 80s - wasnt one of those Decisive Battles of the Civil War game focussed on this battle?

flicking through CGW from the late 80s it was pretty much the case that wargaming was front and foremost the main computer genre and some great companies along with SSI, such as Epyx, 360, SimCan, General Quarters etc
