DOSPower Play
Er ist wieder zurück, und genialer als je zuvor. M.U.L.E.-Schöpfer Dan Bunten schuf meiner Meinung nach mit "Command H.Q." einen weiteren Meilenstein in der Softwaregeschichte. Außer "Popoulous" habe ich kein Spiel gesehen, das strategisches Spielen so fantastisch aufbereitet hat wie Command H.Q. In diesem Programm stecken so viele taktische Details und Finessen, daß es eine wahre Pracht ist. So ist von der simplen Frontalattacke über kleinere lokale Auseinandersetzungen bis zur komplexen Luftlandeoperation und globalen Konflikten alles vorhanden, was dem heimischen Strategen zum Glück fehlt. Zusätzlich sorgt der eingebaute Wirtschaftsmodus (Entwicklungshilfe, Ölfelder) für einen höllischen Suchteffekt. Man merkt deutlich, daß sich Bunten ausgiebig Zeit gelassen hat, um am spielerischen Design zu fummeln.

It is the reduction of elements that makes the game genius. Of course there could have been thousands of options but that surely would not have helped the game. On the contrary! You get access to the game very fast nevertheless it is very motivating. And if you are tired of playing against the computer there is still the (at that time revolutionary) modem option.

DOSThe Good Old Days
The awesome balance of the game requires deep strategic thinking. On the downside, the A.I. is very unbalanced. At the beginning, it's got the edge, but if you survive the first few minutes and capture a few cities, the balance of power will change. The A.I. is too much defense oriented to pose any serious problem. That's why there is the multiplayer mode, however, which works even today. All you need is a serial connection.
