I'm pleased to announce that I have just published the first video in a series covering the incredible computer wargaming legacy left by Atomic Games. This first video covers the creation of Atomic Games in 1989 and the development and release of their first game in the V for Victory series, D-Day : Utah Beach.

I spent a lot of time researching this video and believe there may well be some things in this video that you didn't know before.

I hope that you enjoy this video and that you find it informative. I'm always trying to improve and so please let me know what you think either in the video comments section or by replying to this post.

I put hundreds of hours into the V For Victory titles when I was in college. It was a great series of military tactical games.

Yea, you have to run these under Dosbox on a modern OS. I have Market Garden and Utah Beach installed right now and also the W@W America Invades and Stalingrad. Informative video. I remember talking to Keith on Usenet back just before they released the first Close Combat game.
