Gulf Strike

DOS - 1986
Also available on: Apple II - Commodore 64

"Based on the more successful boardgame of the same name, its play mechanics were clumsy. However, its graphics were even worse, and the color scheme had to be one of the worst ever seen in the computer field. But if one could overcome the "retro-art", the game was one of the more accurate simulations." [excerpt from M. Evan Brooks' Homepage]

Definitely one of the best wargames Avalon Hill released during the 1980s, although still far inferior to SSI's classics.

A much better game similar to this but with better gameplay and graphics is A Line in the Sand.

I played this back in the mid-late 80s and was one of my faves.

Never played this, but anyone else think that pseudo-3d orb in the first screenshot is pretty impressive???
