OT - What was your first TBS/War game?

The Universal Military Simulator on the Atari ST. I especially enjoyed the ancient battles.

SSI's North Atlantic '86 on an Apple IIe in 1983....hours and hours of sweating waves of AS-6s.

I forget the name of the program, but there was a TBS wargame construction kit for the Commodore 64 (anybody remember THOSE things...?).

I've played board games for quite some time, but came to the computer later in life. Civilization (the first one) was the first TBS computer game to really draw me in. I played Civ style games almost exclusively for years (Civ II, SMAC, MoO, MoO2), and really only came to SEIV after my disappointment with Civ III.

How is MOO a Civ style game? It seems to be more the same style as SEIV than it is the same style as Civ.

Sounds like SSI's Wargame Construction Set. I think I must have just about everything SSI ever put out for the C64/128 in the '80s. Still have all my 5 1/4" floppies too.

First? Probably Trek, on mainframe computers. Oh no! My photon torpedoes caused a stellar nova chain reaction again!
