Carrier Command
Atari ST version
3D strategy at it's peak on Atari ST
The Good
This game really puts you in the hot seat.
The fact that you can choose between a quick action-game or the whole strategic affair is just great.
If you own an ST with a double-sided drive (1040 and up), you are in for a musical treat when the pre-game loading has stopped.
The action is bang-on, now and then a bit frantic, but just so right for this game.
The strategic side is equally impressive.. choosing which island to visit(conquer) depending upon your fuel-levels, having to ship your stockpile forward when time progresses.. and having to outsmart the enemy carrier attacking your supply-lines is just dead-on.
The Bad
actually steering the carrier can be rather tedious without time-acceleration option
The Bottom Line
Definitely worth a go, absolutely addictive if you can get the hang of it.
I actually tracked down several version of this game on the internet just to get to play it once more.
