Conflict: Korea – The First Year 1950–51 is a 1992 video game published by Strategic Simulations.

Gameplay

[edit]

Conflict: Korea is a game in which the first year of the Korean War is simulated.[1] The game map is overlaid with hexagons which allow the player to measure movement.[2] Units are controlled by mouse, and the game simulated three historical battles and one hypothetical modern-day conflict.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Richard Savage reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "I just hope that, unlike the real Korean conflict, this game doesn't become the 'Forgotten game.' Conflict: Korea deserves better fate than it has received so far. Check it out."[1]

Brad Burton for Amiga Action said that this game has "the same wargame format as other SSI games, the same control method and graphics. It really is time for change."[2]

The reviewer from Amiga Format lamented that eventually there would be no more wars to base strategy games on, but "SSI still manage to dig up new battles".[3]
