Warship
Description
Tactical wargame of naval engagements in the WW2 Pacific theatre. There are four historical battles to choose from, plus a custom scenario builder to make 'what-if' scenarios. Both, IJN and USN forces, can be controlled by humans. The game-engine is much the same as the one used in SSI's Battle Cruiser, which wasn't released for IBM PCs.

Graphically challenged, but still a defining game for naval aficionados
The Good
It was built on very solid statistics for the 79 ships modeled in the game. The line drawings of the ships, along with their stats, were almost worth the price by themselves for naval enthusiasts.
The Bad
This was one of the ugliest games ever produced. It really couldn't handle land at all well, and you were better off playing in all-sea scenarios.
The Bottom Line
A game for the naval grognard - no one else could put up with the lack of visual appeal.
