Good to see that Hudson is remaking Military Madness for current gen consoles. The promise of on-line battles should increase replay value a lot. And a new interface will be welcomed. The TG16 UI was a bear.

I wasn’t even thinking of the playstation version. Very true, it was a much better version. I’m glad to hear that A2 is better about the laws, they could get really annoying sometimes.

Simpler RTS games are not that hard to play in japanese. You only had a few commands to worry about. I wouldn’t want to try something more advanced in japanese.

Final Fantasy Tactics on Playstation is ,in my opinion, the best turn based RPG EVER. The tactics series on GBA and the DS are good I think they are limited by the ANNOYING laws system. Altough, A2 is better about it.

I’m a big fan of RTS and TBS games as well. Final Fantasy Tactics, Advance Wars, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms… but I never finished Advanced wars either. I’m still on the final level… that damn black army (it’s been a while since I played, so I’m not sure if that’s what the army was called) they keep using that meteor attack and destroying my armies.

Final Fantasy Tactics is by far my favorite… still waiting for Santa to bring me FFA2. :(

Oh, and Lorkin, I had to look up Game Boy wars on Wikipedia. It says it was only released in Japan! Dude, you are hardcore! Importing a foreign game and playing in Japanese - that’s dedication, man. Good on ya!

I have been playing the advance wars series since it was called Game Boy wars.

Yeah, seems I’m alone in the turn-based too. The wife didn’t like Military Madness all that much, although it’s controls are a little weird to dive into. So I doubt I’ll ever have a human opponent, but I’m finding the computer is pretty tough on all these games so the challenge should last.

I agree on the Dual Strike vs. Days of Ruin. I was really disappointed in that one. I don’t think I even bothered to finish it. I’m just glad I found someone else that likes those games. I’ve always been alone with those games and never got to really use the 2 player functions.

I went back to play Advance Wars and now it’s really good! Go figure! I actually got the first DS AW (Dual Strike) and like it far better than the Days of Ruin sequel. Good call, Renee!

I totally forgot about Advance Wars! I have that for my DS and remembering trying it and giving up on it. But now that I’m on a turn-based kick I should give it another go - might be more fun this time.

That is shameful you never really played Starcraft. It actually still plays well on XP and lots of people still play on-line. It has its limits, but on today’s computers it sure is fast!

My favorite of the war games are the Advanced Wars series on Nintendo Gameboy Advance and the DS. They are turn based and have all sorts of different units and maps. The story changes with every game, as does the game play. My favorite one was on on the Gameboy Advance, where your COs had basically a super power they could use on the enemy (like covering the map with snow and lowering visibility). None of the other games have had that, though. But they are still fun!

I never got to play Starcraft when it was at it’s height. Shame. I’m pretty sure I would have loved it.
