Several naval games that look like those from NWS.  One is on Carrier operations.

Sweet Jesus, those graphics!   ???

Are Japanese Grogs a whole bunch of old dudes with old computers too?  Egad.

[chemkid]

those graphics are just fine - these grogs got the spreadsheet-stance just right! -
also, what i found out so far is that only one side of the war can be controlled - guess which side! ;)

old-time japanese witp-ae player gives some insights on release (2012):

I'm surprised games like that were allowed to be produced in Japan with the sensitivity to the war they have had in the past.

that same 'surprised' the chinese and koreans feel when the japanese PM honors their(japanese) war-heroes of the same war? ...or a different 'surprised'?  ::)

edit: the japanese don't share 'the sensitivity to the war they have had in the past' as the germans do, i guess...

[Nefaro]

Reminds me of the old PTO series.  On steroids.

They don't still make those, do they?

[Gusington]

What is your issue, chemkid? Since the war, the events of the 30s and 40s have been heavily censored in Japan, in schools, in media of all types.

Gus, sorry that I got politics into play. It's a game forum - I forgot.  :-[
Have a nice weekend.
Kind regards,
chem!

Feel free to put politics in all you want, but state your case clearly. If you look at our posts above we are in agreement on Japanese behavior since the war.
