Oh, so sorry for my oversight. Thank you, also, Mr. Hamsterman, if in fact you were the one who posted today's game giveaway. Great game.

By the way, here's a little anecdote I'd like to share with all of you wonderful British folks.......

Many years ago, my family and I stopped over briefly in London during our summer travels, and we were in one of the London retail stores - it may have been Harrod's or another establishment. Anyway, I asked one of the kind sales ladies where the restroom was, and she immediately complimented me on my "lovely foreign accent."

Of course, I have an American accent, and I thought it was rather amusing that she would say that I was the one with the "foreign accent," as usually we (Americans) believe it is our British friends who have the "foreign accent."

I supposed it's all relative, right? LOL! By the way, I was a big fan of Lady Diana. She was a kindhearted, beautiful person (both inside and out.)

Best,
Inas

Thanks reversOrder, I can't believe I forgot the link.
And I'm sorry you're still feeling bad WR, I wish I could help you, but I'm really busy right now.
It was a pleasure posting the game :)!

Nice one Inas

Hi WhiteRabbit, hope you are feeling 100% better now. Thank you for all you do. I downloaded and installed today's Game Giveaway (Family Puzzle) - it's great. I already solved one "easy" puzzle, and simply love it - it's great. Thanks again.

Best,
Inas

Hi TNIP, I'm not running out of games. :) In fact I've got at least a hundred in my to post folder that I've tested; my problem at the moment is being able to stay awake long enough to do everything I need to do in a day. I upped my dose of morphine a while back and ever since I fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I fell asleep writing up today's game giveaway review and woke up a couple of hours before the game was due to be posted with an aweful crick in my neck plus numb arms; (as I'd fallen asleep on them, lol).

Actally I could do with some time off from posting and would be most grateful if you too over my days for the next month or so. Well until the end of February at least. If that's okay with you? The following are the weeks you would be posting a minimum of one game a day for three days, that's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and, if there's no game giveaways that weekend you'd do a Sunday as well ([i]rO has already volunteered to do any Saturdays). The following are the dates you could fill in for me:

Mon 1st Feb to Wed 3rd Feb
Mon 15th Feb to Wed 17th Feb

Hopefully I'll, have gathered enough strength by the end of February to return to posting (I'm too dog tired at the moment).

Also I am taking another vacation to Florida from the 28th May to 9th June this year. At least one of those weeks will need someone to fill in for me, so you could post over that period as well.

I don't want to give up posting games as it's been something special to me ever since I started the project, but help is always welcome. I appreciate your offer as I do your previous contributions where you've suggested games via PM. Thanks.

p.s.

I did miss my days this week due to illness. rO and The Webmaster have posted a game each to fill in, but there's still a day missing so you could post a game now if you'd like, to make up for my ommissions this week. Thanks.

I could take over, if anybody is running out...I have my own stash of games....

Thanks for posting Webmaster and for the link rO. Still offcolor unfortunately.

W.R.

Thanks for the game, webhamster.

It looks like the link is missing. Download here:

Today I'm posting a game in place of WR. Poor guy's feeling bad.

Command H.Q. is a wonderful strategy game that simulates the historical World War I and II, the theoretical World War III, the fictionally randomized World War IV, and ????, which is a very distant futuristic war.

The game starts out with the player's army (except in WWIV and ????), cities, and oilfields (WWIII+). The bulk of most armies are soldiers, which you use to fight the enemy, capture cities & oilfields, and protect the cities you own. There is an improved version of the soldiers (these are tanks) which are basically the combined forces of two soldier units. There are also sea units (which soldiers & tanks can transform into) which include destroyers (which are the bulk of sea armies), subs (stealthy transport killers), transports (what soldiers & tanks transform into), and air carriers (they have an air unit as well). There's the air units which can transport other units, harm enemy land units, assault cities, and also destroy other air units (if they're in your attack zone).

There is also foreign aid, which allows a neutral country (or one that is non-aligned with the enemy) to join your forces or leave the enemy. There are satellites which allow you to see anything in their field of vision. There are also satellite killers which, unsurprisingly, kill satellites. There are Intel scans, which allow you to see all units during cease-fires. And then there's the last item in the game, nukes (that can't be used against capitals because they have ABMs), which kills everything in its radius, and makes people mad at you (making them either leave you or join the enemy), and turns all terrain in its radius into a wasteland. The only resources in the game are money (in billions) and oil (WWIII and later), which makes things easy to manage. The AI has a few difficulty settings, which tend to be the exact name versions of what their skill level is.

The sounds are just standard PC speaker quality, nothing special. Everything looks fine in the graphics department, and generally quite nice. Altogether, Command H.Q. is an unendingly replayable game, and I give it a 4/5.
