I get the impression that this thread will be zapped very soon due to the questionable sites.
@MOD - However, could we keep the titles for discussion?
I recently checked out Wolfpack. Three things struck me:
(1) Conceptually a very nice attempt to address the larger battle between the subs and the convoy, but sadly a bit arcadish. It didn't measure up to a game like AOD.
(2) Despite using a very low res display, the designers tried to squeeze everthing on a single screen. I don't think that worked very well given the technology of the time. They would have needed at least at 1024x768 display to do it on a single screen without flipping displays like most subsims. Too cluttered, confusing, and hard to manipulate given the low res.
(3) The number of included scenarios were very limited and I did not really feel like building my own.
Does anyone have any other comments about WolfPack by Broderbund? Thanks. (could I have misjudged)
