this turn based strategy game is where i cut my teeth learning the art of battlefield strategy. The music was great and trying to get the high ground for your canons and troops to dig in was amazing. The reenactment scenes were always entertaining and trying to keep your troops moral up was always a struggle. It was one of my and still is one of my favorite turn based strategy games.

much like its sequel, this is a masterclass in a turn-based game - the way you buy weapons and build up your forces is great. Plus the sometimes humors tone where you can see stuff like moral being shown as a guy that runs away is just too much fun :P

I absolutely loved this game growing up! It actually spurred my interest in the civil war entirely! I can still remember playing the battle of chancelorsville.

This is one of the earliest games I remember playing. It was at some old friend of my Dad's house that I went to once or twice. Turn based hexagonal strategy game that reminds me a lot of Panzer General. For that reason alone is enough for me to get it outright. I remember hearing "The Bonnie Blue Flag" playing during the game and being catchy. I greatly enjoyed watching the short live action reenactment battle clips played during each attack. It was great!
This game was one of the first hex and counter gems that I stumble upon, what a classic! Very approachable but quite deep once I dig further in, and has great Sierra production quality. On top of that it is one of the few hex and counter Civil War games ever released, so it would be a solid entry in the GOG collection!
I’ve looked for this game for years wanting to relive it. Would be super cool to see it playable in current windows. I can still hear the music from this game in my head sometimes.

On the Ball: World Cup Edition
On the Ball: World Cup EditionThis is an unusual take on the football management game, which features virtually no statistics. Up to four managers can join in, to lead their chosen team through the World Cup, from qualifying to the actual tournament. Tactics and training are hugely important due to the game's short time frame. The players each have individual personalities, and these have been factored in during the game. Sometimes players will drink too much, fall in love, or have personality clashes with their team-mates or with you, all of which have to be factored in. The press will ask you loaded questions, so be careful how you answer.

Armada
ArmadaThe full story of the Spanish Armada is a fascinating piece of history. Starting as a great adventure it ended as a human tragedy on a massive scale. This simulation attempts to capture five days of the Armada's journey, the five days it took for the huge fleet to make its way from south of Plymouth to the Isle of Wright. The Armada was a very real invasion threat to England, but the clash of politics, religion, intrigue and misunderstanding was also very real. This, the second in Atari's BattleScapes series offers you the chance to take the helm as Lord Howard, defending the English coastline against the attacking Spaniards, or even re-write history by leading the invasion fleet against the likes of Howard, Drake, and Frobisher.

Sim Theme Park
Sim Theme ParkLike the previous title, Theme Park World tasks players with managing a series of amusement parks. To do this, the player must choose how to spend their available funds, finding a way to expand the number and scope of their parks while remaining profitable. Income from the park can be used to purchase new rides or attractions, hire staff to maintain the park, and other similar functions. Various elements can be controlled by the player, such as the name of the park, the price of admission, the layout of the roller-coaster tracks, and the quality of food in the park restaurants. An ant-like announcer by the name of Buzzy, voiced by Terry McGovern in the American-tailored Sim Theme Park and Lewis MacLeod in UK release Theme Park World, helps the player with advice during gameplay.
