From Brian Moriarty’s tribute to Dani Bunten: “Microprose took up the cause of modem-based wargaming in a big way with the 1990 [Dani Bunten] release, Command HQ, which boasted a simple, clean user interface that made historical strategy more accessible than ever, and racked up impressive sales.” The game features many hypothetical scenarios, good graphics, and competent AI for when you can’t find a live human opponent. The modem play is also excellent – making the game one of the first truly playable multiplayer wargames. Recommended!
