Play Arnhem - The 'Market Garden' Operation Amiga Online

Game Overview

Arnhem puts you right in the middle of that infamous WWII operation where Allied forces tried (and failed) to take the bridge in the Netherlands. You’re basically rewriting history here—dropping British, Polish, and American airborne units onto the map, scrambling to secure positions before the Germans push back. The first few turns feel chaotic in the best way: watching your paratroopers land in random clearings, then frantically ordering them to dig in or push forward before the enemy reacts.

The map scrolls smoothly, and movement is turn-based on a grid, so you’ve got time to think—though the Germans don’t make it easy. Some units can call in bombardments, but most of the time, it’s a brutal grind of small advances and desperate defenses. What I love is how the scenarios escalate, from smaller skirmishes to the full campaign where every decision matters. And yeah, the real battle was a disaster for the Allies, so pulling off a win feels like cheating history.

There’s a solid two-player mode if you want to play as the Germans, and the manual’s packed with historical notes and photos that make the whole thing feel less like a game and more like a time capsule. If you’ve ever wondered what "a bridge too far" actually looked like on the ground, this is your chance to find out—or change it.
