Wonder if Nukewar was produced for the TI99

I own Galaxy and B-1 Nuclear Bomber. I wrote up a review of Galaxy a few months back, on my website. I still haven't had time to play it a lot since then, or to check out B-1 yet.

Galaxy is pretty cool, though I feel like the TI version is definitely pretty limited compared to what the docs promise in the other versions. That said, it's a cool strategy game that seems like it will reward further exploration.

It certainly looks interesting, at some point it might be fun to get Nukewar ported across to the TI99, may be even improved. - add graphics for bases, subs etc rather than just letters, then even add two extra computer players

 

Lookk forward to your review of B-1

Reading your reviews... Makes it look like some of these would do well in a "compilation" world...

I was an Avalon Hill games fan as a kid, and one of the things I did was order every single game they had available for the TI 99/4a (which I guess was these two, although I swear there were more). Galaxy was awesome. I played it endlessly as a teenager. I don't recall being particularly impressed by B-1 Nuclear Bomber, however (and, checking out some reviews, I now remember why).

Close Action is a port of the Avalon Hill game of the same name.

I owned quite a few of these games for the TRS80 computer, mostly the wargames, and a lot of them were very well done, some even having maps and counters as accessories to play. A nice departure from the twitch arcade games so common of the era....

You guys may be unaware of a manual recreation for the TI version of B-1 Bomber that was released around the middle of last year. If you want to take a peek, you can check it out in the linked message << HERE >>.
