That old game, are you guys talking "Carriers at War"? I had that for my Apple IIc, and it rocked, no doubt. Even on a monochrome monitor

Actually I was refering to a Battle of Midway game, which I believe was made by Avalon Hill...Carriers at War was as a great game, but that actually had some graphics, not just plain ASCII characters like Midway.
hah, Battle of Midway!! I remember playing that in 5th grade, and it eventually led me to my career as a programmer. My buddy and I hacked the game and made US "Super carriers". Yes, that was my idea of fun

One of the best games I ever played is North Atlantic '86. It was a text game that actually made you feel like you were sitting in a war room someplace.

I still play Pacific War, a game that came out in 1990. Back then it had many bugs but after a considerable amount of patches it turned into a little gem.The graphics are not great but the level of detail is immense.

Huh, I played the AH board game called Midway, and it was great good fun. But I don't recall a computer game by AH...
