| Radio Commander! Vietnam Strategy Wargame Using ONLY a Radio |
| 2019-03-14 |
| [YouTube] Many games have tried to do Strategy and RTS this way but few if any have succeeded, Radio Commander takes an under used Vietnam war setting and combines it with a genuinely interesting and tense command style! |

| #4 The second game is definitely a lot bigger weighing in at over 7 megs whereas the first game was less than 3. Smiled a bit there. Haven't played RoE, feel like I missed a good one, but the description reminds me a bit of Silent Service with the different stations and navy combat, though Silent Service was WWII pacific submarine on C64. Daughter got into dungeon crawl games, and we played a few. Pretty, but no Champions of Krynn. Interesting idea, hope it makes it. I thought maybe the player talked into a mic like in SOCOM Navy Seals...then I remembered the times I would order a breach but teammate would toss a frag right in the middle of the group instead of kicking the door...or really any other command seemed to get me fragged. I am told our regional accent does not pair well with voice recognition recorders so maybe command clicks is the way to go. |

| #3 That brings back memories of a Win-DOS game ported to my Amiga that I played: Rules of Engagement 2 You captained a Space navy ship and had subordinate captains, with personalities no less!, that you could *radio* orders to. It was more WW2 in Spaaace! than anything else. Fun Times! Fun Time when the game was more important than the (crappy) graphics. |
