Well, this section doesn't
quite fit into the "Free Wargames" section, but I don't really care. So take it
or leave it. This section will discuss the developers of wargames - past and present.
I'm a real nerd when it comes to these sorts of things. For some reasons, I find
it interesting what games companies have developed in the past, and what games are
under development now. Hopefully you can find something useful in all this information.
- W.R. Hutsell
- Independent game developer
who gave us a series of DOS games. His best-known are the VGA Civil War Strategy
Game and the EGA Civil War Battleset, however, he also wrote the lesser known World
War II in Western Europe as well as Wars of Napoleon. All of the games except
EGA Civil War Battleset are based on a common strategic engine, while Wars of
Napoleon was the theoretical culmination of his work as it integrated the
traditional strategical level engine with EGA Civil War Battleset's tactical
engine.
- Jeff Lapkoff
- One of those developers
who has been long writing games and continues to this game. He began with such famous
(and unique games) as Defend the Alamo! and Custer's Last Stand, followed by ZuluWar!,
Medieval, and sequels to Defend the Alamo!, Custer's Last Stand, and Medieval. He
is currently developing The Drift 1879 and his company was previously known as Incredible
Simulations Inc.
- BattleFront - An aggregator of great wargames
they are probably best known for their Combat Mission series, TacOps, and Strategic
Command. They have also partnered with Hussar Games to release 1848 and For Liberty!
as well as several other developers (Down in Flames, T-72 Balkans on Fire!, DropTeam).
- Matrix Games - Appearing out of nowhere
they have become the SSI of this day. Single-handedly reviving the ailing wargaming
industry they have aggregated perhaps the largest single source of wargames. Including
free re-releases of Gary Grigsby's classic Pacific War and War in Russia as well
as SSI's Steel Panthers they have also released a number of famous new and old wargames
- including many Talonsoft titles.
