Battle of Austerlitz, The 1989 Strategy
An early computer wargame that depicts one of Napoleon's most famous battles, The Battle of Austerlitz is an innovative game that boasts real-time play and an easy-to-use interface. But like the authors' previous game Borodino: 1812, it is marred by superficial gameplay: ahistorical, arcade-style "tank rush" tactic is required to win, rather than any real military acumen. Fun for a while, but has very little replay or long-term play value. Worth a look if you are interested in the era, or collect wargames in general. For a much better treatment of the war, though, try other wargames such as Talonsoft's...
Earth Siege 1994 Arcade action
Earthsiege is one of the best 3D giant-robot games ever released that sadly faded into oblivion beside the better-hyped and (deservedly) higher-rated Mechwarrior 2 from Activision. Still and even though it doesn't feature all the famous mechs from FASA's Battletech universe, with excellent graphics and good one-player campaign mode. All in all, it's an excellent 3D action game with an intriguing plot, many types of mechs to control and fight, and furious cockpit action. ...

Evan Brooks points out in his synopsis, Halls of Montezuma covers '...the history of the U.S. Marine Corps, most of the scenarios herein covered the 20th century.

Grand Prix 500 2 1991 Simulation
Microids' Grand Prix 500 2 is a fun motorcycle racing game that boasts vibrant graphics and smooth animations that are better than average for its time. In many ways, the game feels like an update of Broderbund's 1987 SuperBike Challenge, in that it includes all 12 of the world's Grand Prix courses, as well as a 2-player hotseat option. The game does strike a territory of its own, though, with the overhead display of course map that makes it very easy to see your position in the race, as well as track layout. Unfortunately, this reduces the action display to...
