Joys of DOS gaming - High Command Memory Fail
0One thing I don't miss from the PC DOS gaming years is the horror of the memory management. High memory, EMS memory, contentional memory, whatsoever memory. Pure horror. Here's a few examples of DOS fails when I tried a few different games after a long long break from DOS world.
High Command: Europe 1939-'45 - High Command puts you in command of the Allies or Axis during the most crucial points of World War 2. In contrast to Harpoon's micro scale, this game is decidedly a strategic-level wargame a la Gary Grigsby's games: control the Allies or Axis air, land, and sea forces in Europe.
Well-researched realism and scenarios are bogged down beneath spotty AI, cumbersome interface, and questionable supply logistics. It's fun if you enjoy realistic wargames, though.
