Carrier Command 2 / MicroProse Revived

[Dr. Barry Nyle]

On the 10th of August a sequel to the original "Carrier Command" DOS/Amiga launches by MicroProse in its current instantiation with co-op and PvP. The objective of the original, including its spiritual successor by Bohemia Interactive's "Carrier Command: Gaia Mission" replicates the gameplay, which concerns two carriers vying for control of islands of an archipelago for resources in the destruction of the other carrier. Not sure how many fans of the series are around but if you would like to co-op some American foreign policy Id be up for that, or discussion of it and this MicroProse revival.

Looks like it's due out in a few days. The style looks pretty cool. I'm glad Carrier Command is getting another shot after Bohemia botched Gaea Mission so badly. Loved Carrier Command on the Amiga.

As far as other titles to revive/re-envision, how about Gunship 2000? And I know there's openTTD, but Microprose needs to get Chris Sawyer to take a stab at a new Transport Tycoon Deluxe? Forget the newer Locomotion or Transport Tycoon for tablets and what not. Go back to 2D but for modern desktops.

Gaea mission was so bad I wanted to die. I wish I could get refunded double

Its an interesting concept though I give it that

Until I have reason to feel otherwise, I will assume a posture of disappointment, cynicism and hostility toward this.

I've read this book before.

Recently released Highfleet looks pretty good.
I just wish that there would be DRM-free option.

Just seeing the name Microprose makes me nostalgic as fuck. Before my Amiga got ruined in storage, I swear a third of my collection was Microprose games.
