What classic wargame do you wish would be remade?

Computer Ambush by SSI (1980)

Western Front Squad combat with individual soldiers as units.... Each square was only 9ft.

The graphics were really basic a letter G for a German soldier and an A for an American. Each Soldier came with a bio. Windows , Doors, and
interior rooms were all calculated. (I have tried to recreate this map in CM:SF but have fail)..... I love the idea of this game so much that I still have the map and bios booklet 35 years later.

That was fun, I liked that one quite a bit. You could play either German or US soldiers. I'm pretty sure I played it on the Apple II+.

Actually this could be one that should be ummm, remade or perhaps ummm reverse engin..... ummm you get my point.

I double checked and the Apple version was in 1980 ... I actually played the Commodore 64 version released in 1985 so it was only 30 years ago for me LOL

I forgot it came with grease pencils for the map. (I remember starting a tag team race around the perimeter of the village (two player of course) which the Germans won because of superior Command Control. It took a while for each American to start running...

I would just like to mention that I have never, ever, played Steel Panthers or any of its sequels. [;)]

[gradenko2k]

I never got to play Steel Panthers in its heyday either, and every time I've tried I just thought I'd be having an easier time of it in Close Combat or Combat Mission.

MASSIVE YES PLEASE> We haven't had a tactical wargame at this scale on the PC yet. I know about Soldiers at War, 101st Airborne (prob the best wargame on the PC at this scale, shame about the sequel) and I suppose Silent Storm..but we haven't had something like this.

Thank you but I don't think I would do that....I'm afraid of old games and emulators in general.

Wow, you should try it as it's free now for the base version. The General's edition costs but you don't have to have that to play.

T.A.C. Tactical Armour Command--Avalon Hill--

(Atari 8 bit version is what I used to play)

How about SP:WaW ... an update would be very appreciated.

[aaatoysandmore]

STEEL PANTHERS FOREVER....now that would be a nice title for a remake...who agrees with us? [:D]

[Major_Mess]

So I guess the only thing I can do right now is call up my good friend Erik Rutins and ask .........

Look at you Willy.
All your time taken up with fighting Bears, Mooses (Meese?), Forest Fires and two-bit tweeking Gangsta's and you still have the energy to ask about ......... what the name of that game????

Oh yeah, SPWaW

What would you like to know????



Good to see that you're alive (and well).

From one BC boy to another.



cheers

[aaatoysandmore]

I think a remake of "War of the Lance" would be in order here also. But, STEEL PANTHERS first. [&o]

[aaatoysandmore]

Maybe even Centurion: Defender of Rome?? Cmon you guys don't you have other games you'd like to seee as well as Steel Panthers #1?
