Starting today, you can dive into the following classics:
_Battle Engine Aquila_: Prepare for fast and furious mech-powered
warfare, as_ Battle Engine Aquila _puts you smack in the center of a
deadly land war, fought by blood-sworn enemies the Forseti and the evil
Muspell. As Hawk Winter, an underground racer plucked from obscurity,
you must helm the legendary Battle Engine Aquila and fight through 43
missions. Harness the Battle Engine’s mobility and devastating
firepower as you guide legions of allies to victory while battling on
the land, sea, and air across 12 massive islands.
_Steel Thunder_: Climb into some of the most lethal Cold-War era
battle tanks and blast your way through 21 missions across three
theaters of battle in_ Steel Thunder, _a classic of military simulations
developed by Accolade™_._ Take command of the crews of famous fighting
vehicles including the M60A3, M48A5 Patton, M3 Bradley CFV, and the
devastating M1A1 Abrams. Switch between various tank crew roles —
Commander, Driver, and Gunner — and manage all aspects of your deadly
war machine as you plan the best strategies for effectively eliminating
the opposition. Rise through the ranks and become the ultimate tank
commander in _Steel Thunder._
_Hunting Unlimited 2_: The second installment in the best-selling
series, _Hunting Unlimited 2 _cranks the action to 11! Get up close and
personal with eight big game animals including bison, pronghorn,
mountain goat, and moose, and take them down with one of 25 different
rifles and bows, each equipable with special accessories. More than 75
missions await, with a target range for practice and sight-tuning, and
multiple mini-games to entertain between missions!
_Gunboat_: This classic from Accolade™ packs eight tons of pure
lethality into a 30 foot-long hull, that’s the U.S. Navy River Patrol
Boat and you’re in charge of it in a game of high-speed and
high-stakes river warfare. Danger can come from land or water, and
it’s up to you and your crew to keep it together as you battle through
20 missions in three international hot zones. Take a first-person view
of the action from four battle stations as you unleash salvos from the
bow, stern, and mid-section of the boat. With your gunboat’s twin .50
caliber guns, grenade launcher, and twin-barrel M2HB browning machine
gun, Hell hath no fury like your gunboat and its crew!
