Forgotten MS-DOS Strategy games: CIVIL WAR (Entrex Software 1994)

[@andtercel]

Been looking for this everywhere. Thanks!

This is a forgotten game for sure. Entrex mostly made many mac titles - in fact, the very few mentions of this title online are the mac version. I have the dos version in a box somewhere from when I was a kid and have been looking for a version online for awhile. Shame it's impossible to find and I have no way of transferring a floppy disk (if it is even still good) to a modern pc. Shame it isn't on any of the abandonware sites like the mac version is. For strat purposes - I forget for the union side, but for the confederates, the easiest strat is to try to grab the extra troops from the border states if possible asap (minus kentucky, which you let the union side invade to get their troops). You can heal your damaged units a bit in georgia until that falls, but basically only battle in virginia. There, your unit placement allows you to limit the # of union units on the field, and you essentially just keep rotating in your units until time runs out/you have enough win points.

I believe this was on a CD called Mega 80 Hits or something, a freeware disk

[@FortWhenTeaThyme]

Sorry, I meant a shareware disk.

I'm looking for the game Discover the World II by Entrex that I played on a Mac in school around 1996 ish. How are you playing this game? Some type of emulator?

[@andtercel]

Anyone know of playable game or download online

[@divinuminfernum]
