Task Force 1942
It is a top down or first person shooter. You can guide your fleet be it Japanese or American in any action station. Turret guns, torpedo stations it is without doubt the best Naval game I've played have been looking for it for 12 years. Yes its an oldie but goodie!Imagine taking your destroyer squadron through the ranks of japanese cruisers and sinking the fight before it begins.Or breaking through with the Japanese flottilla and blowing the Liberty ships full of troops helplessly anchored to the bottom.Luckily for us we can learn from our mistakes and play the next game from a different role. But never forget that it is based on fact. A lot of men from both sides perished in this engagement.Like "Close Combat Invasion Normandy" the game is timeless, no game is the same so you can bring your ships via different routes, causing different outcomes.Thouroughly reccomended. A bit pricy for a game of its age!

One of the best and most overlooked naval wargame ever, Task Force 1942 lets you command either the American or the Japanese fleet in the most crucial naval battles of World War 2 in the Pacific theatre. The game certainly gets high points for numerous realistic factors that make up for questionable computer AI. Authentic ships and great scenario design are only the beginning in this enjoyable wargame that shines in campaign mode.
