I'm pleased to announce that I have just published the first video in a series covering the incredible wargaming legacy left by Atomic Games.  This first video covers the creation of Atomic Games in 1989 and the development and release of their first game in the V for Victory series, D-Day : Utah Beach.

I spent a lot of time researching this video and I believe there may well be some things in the video that you didn't know before.

I hope that you enjoy this video and that you find it informative.  Please let me know what you think in the video comments section or by replying here to this forum post.

Some great research, and a very nice presentation too. Thanks for sharing. :bd:

Atomic Games were great back in the day. I still own nearly all of the boxed editions of the company's games.

Thanks for sharing the link to the YouTube video. O0
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Makes me want to dig out the 5-1/4" and 3.5" disks in the attic.

It's funny how much has changed in 10-15 years. I used to go to Gamestop and EB at least once a week.
