Question:

I had the memory of a computer game lingering in my head for a while now. It was released in the 1991-93 time frame, at the time I purchased it for the Mac but it might well have been available for DOS/Windows.

The game was set in the Pacific during WWII and was a grand strategy simulation giving you command over land, air, and sea forces right down to the individual squadron, regiment, and task force. On the Mac version their was a small quicktime movie (bottom center, 160X120) of old footage that played every time one of your squadrons took off or a land battle commenced. The level of detail was very high.

I can not recall the title but I remember is being a famous game designer's "Victory at Sea", "Pacific War", "Pacific In Flames" or things of that nature. I came across a recent version of SSI classic "Pacific War" published by a new firm but this did not seem to be the same game.

I purchased this in ~1992 and had it for about 6 months before growing so frustrated with major bugs that I called the publisher. The company that published this title either went out of business or was purchased by the developer of Harpoon and the company sent me a copy of Harpoon II for my trouble

Please shed some light on this mystery to me...

Thanks

Hmm.

You might want to check out <a href="http://www.theunderdogs.org">Home of the Underdogs</a> for two reasons:

1) They've got a small "Macintosh" section that features some of the most popular Mac games. You might be able to identify your game by looking through this section.

2) They've got a HUGE "PC wargame" section. You can browse through all these titles and you'll probably find your game, if they made a PC version.

I think it was published by Three-Sixty if that is any help
