Amiral Crapaud kicked this off after getting in touch with David Lagettie and made the original deal with him. Then he introduced him to Nils & Jo (the tactical WW2 game), Nils and Amiral having got in touch months earlier on Subsim. Last edited by Onkel Neal; 05-05-20 at 10:04 AM. |

So, looks like a great start. Here's an article from the NYT about the origins from 1997 of two Czech developers and an Aussie heavy metal singer. This turned into Bohemia Interactive (Operation Flashpoint, Arma, DayZ).

At some point, Lagettie formed Titan IM/Vanguard and bought the Microprose brand. Now with Task Force Admiral and Sea Power under development, the series has some real traction. Quote:

This is cool! I wonder if they will bring the B-17 game team back and make a remake of the game. I've seen Taff in Exile play it before. I cannot wait!

Great article below with more info about whats coming up beyong the initial launch ( looks li,e you might get your B17 yet in VR!) the article also offers ‘Wild Bill’s’ perspective on the new company.

Bohemia Interactive has a well deserved reputation for releasing games full of bugs and never fixing them. It has been Operation Flashpoint is a perfect example.
Just look at the hot mess that is DayZ. The initial alpha was released in December 16, 2013 and the game is still broken today. Cars that fly into the air for no apparent reason. Still can't choose a gender for your character. Extremely high latency net code. This with well over 5 million in funding from players who bought early access. Once they have your money they are long gone. Please tell me they have nothing to do with Sea Power or Task Force Admiral. |

Bohemia has nothing to do with Microprose, no.

Oh the memories - if they can be successful with the QUALITY that Microprose was known for, then I will be beyond happy. Then again, games back then where a lot smaller and "patches" were rare to non-existent!
