That was for Atari. I agree that is inarguably one of the worst games ever made. But it is still remembered 40 years later, lol. |

Mission 12: Petersburg (Union side) Once more I swap over to the Union side! Here I go as USA Pvt. Frank Adams, infantryman. Any relation to Don Adams I wonder. Showing the overhead game map of the war in 1865... I've noticed West Virginia (est. 1863) is not shown and instead it is simply all Virgi... |

Mission 11: Cold Harbor I've gone back in time from Selma to fight at Cold Harbor as a Reb? Sure, why not? I am listed as Pvt. Mosley "a veteran." I must be unattached to a unit or something. "Grant commands an army 500,000 strong," apparently Pinkerton is giving the game develo... |

Mission 10: Selma I am Pvt. John Howard in this one and part of Wilson's force trying to defeat Forrest's army (?) and capture enemy supplies. Oddly, my commander is the same commander I've seen die in a few missions already so apparently he keeps respawning or is simply a vampire by this point. I ... |

Mission 8: Chattanooga I muddle onwards as Pvt. Colin Geary in this one. Once again the voiceover at the start proclaims that Rosecrans was replaced by Grant... poor Thomas gets no respect at all even in video games! My mission?
