Carriers at War

"This is not a drill, Fight from Pearl Harbor to the Philippine Sea"

"Matrix Games, and SSG, www.ssg.com.au, are proud to announce the recreation of a wargame classic. Carriers at War will be coming to Matrix Games later this year. The game is a simulation of fleet carrier air and naval operations in the Pacific theater from 1941 to 1945."

An old classic is being released again but with new tech....
I sure loved to play the old one and spent many hours doing it.

I have the old version. They've redone the graphics. They don't give a release date and with Matrix that could mean 3 years or more.
I bet it outsells Uncommon Valor and War in the Pacific.

A classic game - I remember playing it on my original Apple II. Great to hear it's getting a re-birth!

A quote from my first post above:

"Carriers at War will be coming to Matrix Games later this year."

It sounds like it could be in the next 3 months or so....

I hope so but I wouldn't hold your breath. Not to put a damper on it. I would love to have it for Xmas. (Yes it's getting that time)

We've heard this song and dance from multiple publishers before...anyone remember the Boomer game a few years ago? Anyhow, when it shows up on the shelves, or a definate update is placed on their website...don't hold your breath.

Oops, found this thread. Excuse me for excessive posts.

I've played the old CAW and CAWII to death.

As to Matrix Games. I have been waiting for Computer Empire in Arms since... 1998?
