I had PTO2 (Pacific Theater of Operations 2) a while back, and while the AI wasn't that great, it was a fairly enjoyable game. This game no longer works on today's PC's. I was wondering if anyone knew of a game similar to this.
PTO2 was a campaign of the pacific war during WWII. It had some great points - day by day movement which could be sped up, the ability to create and modify task forces, and many other features. There were flaws - the ability to build ships was great, however these ships could rarely be completed by war's end. Especially the capital ships. On the other hand, it was fairly realistic when having to await the completion of new planes when running low, thus limiting actual attack time and adding a strategic element. Also, the problem with dealing with Germany was not a factor. I could take army units from anywhere in the USA and move them into the PTO without worrying about protecting my east coast. The idea of supplies was good, however the dispersion of said supplies was tedious at best. Better would have been a way to set an automated supply system to a location.
