I hope one of the bigger/wealthier game sites persuades John Walker to review MicroProse’s newest release. John and Myst have, as they say, history, and if Neyyah somehow managed to impress him, it has the ability to impress just about…
Police Week really should have been called Fuzz Fortnight. Law enforcement games are legion and last week I barely scratched the surface of what’s available. My latest acquisition puts the copper in chopper. It also shoots itself in both flat…
Pb + potato mashers + persistence = palpable progress for the POWs this turn. Dale’s Dozen ends the sixty undisputed kings of Nottingheim Castle. The fact that the German MG team weathered several grenade blasts before expiring makes Dale’s lack…

Yet to issue an order in this year’s play-by-comment Combat Mission game? Now would be a great time to get your feet wet. In the final moments of this minute-long turn, the Comment Commanders’ force doubles in size. All of…
