Game Overview

Army on MS-DOS—man, this game made you feel like a proper general without ever leaving your desk. You'd stare at that grid map, moving little pixel soldiers around, trying to outthink the enemy before they flanked you. No tutorials, no hand-holding—just pure "oh crap, why did I send my tanks there?" moments.

The beauty was in its simplicity. You could lose an entire squad in two turns if you weren't careful, but pulling off a perfect ambush felt like solving a chess puzzle. And that chunky MIDI soundtrack? Somehow made typing commands like "MOVE 3RD PLATOON EAST" feel epic. Still holds up if you can tolerate the DOS-era jank.

Just don't blame me when you accidentally order your infantry into a minefield.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
