#New Release
Today I've released Taskforce, my 10th Amiga game and a popular CU Amiga coverdisc back in 1994. I wrote this in 1993.
This was inspired by the turn-based wargames that my brother and I used to play as children. It uses a move/fire phase for turns rather than the 'action points' system of later games; those were implemented due to a suggestion by Andrew Cashmore for Hilt II. My game Hilt II was an evolution on from this, and my first PC game Arcangel which was (effectively) an isometric version of Hilt II. I made a fancy 3D conversion of Taskforce for PC, originally release in 2004, which was substantially reworked and released on Steam in the summer of 2020.
This is a fairly simple game that is rough around the edges, but it has some good points.
I've supplied the game in the original ADF file, and an RP9 file for fancy modern emulators like Amiga Forever.
Enjoy playing.
