USS Ticonderoga - PC, 17/4/95 & 29/1/96
REVIEW 1 - 17/4/95
USS Ticonderoga - PC
Yes. Yes, this is better. Windows 95 is so much happier with strategy games, it's almost illegal! But not in the same way as arson. Or "clipping".
Taking its name from a Native Indian phrase meaning "modern metal boat", this is a seamless port-over of the DOS game we found appropriate last year.
No taxing real-time graphics here, just little icons moving on a radar screen. It's really remote and antiseptic!
USS Ticonderoga is an American as big as a hamburger with a picture of a cowboy on, but it's actually UK-developed.
This may account for the sombre music, and stupid-boy-Pike admonishments if your multi-choice tactics (which, given the computerised weaponry, form much of the gameplay) mean civilian slaughter.
North Atlantic, Far East, Gulf - these are just some of the places we don't want you to visit.
