QQP, one of the premiere strategic software publishers, has released a new piece called The Perfect General 2, a follow up to it's popular forerunner, The Perfect General. Upon entering the game, a general will appear on screen and offer advice for a particular scenario.Much of what is offered here can be used in many other scenarios and is sound strategic advice. Perfect General 2 offers quite a number of different scenarios to choose from.If you choose to play a full campaign, you can literally lose days of your life.Most players will probably choose to play a Single Scenario.These in themselves are time consuming, but at least you probably will finish them in one sitting.
The game itself allows the player to taylor it to their own tastes.You can be the attacker or defender.The AI of the computer is adjustable from "1" (easiest) to "5" (hardest).Believe me, the AI of this game is incredible.If you don't have access to a carbon unit to war with, the computer will put up a ferocious fight.Many other options are offered, such as seeing your opponent's forces, weather variables, etc.
Perfect General 2 is a hexed based game.However, the hexes are not shown unless the player turns this option on.Don't let that scare you away, however.Many wargamers don't like hex based games.You'll never know it, trust me.For those who DO like hexes, well, just turn the hex map option on, and voila! The graphics are incredible.The opening cinematic clip is second to none, in my opinion.The sound effects have to be heard to be believed.From the noise of tank treads, to the sound of men marching, it's here, believe me.One of the highlights is watching and hearing your artillerybombardments reducing enemy units to so much scrap metal.
Gameplay is land based.Hardware choices are dependent on the scenario, but overall, tanks (4 different kinds), airplanes, different types of infantry units, armored personnel carriers, artillery & mines are the tools of war. One thing to consider in playing this game, it's very important to keep a good balance of forces.Loading up on nothing but tanks can leave a player stranded, or much slower than the lighter forces of the opponent.The key to winning most scenarios is not only sound strategy, but the right choice of hardware in the beginning and a willingness to take risks at appropriate times.
Whether you're a die hard wargamer, who lives and dies by methodical strategy, or perhaps you enjoy good strategic sims with great graphics and sound effects, Perfect General 2 is a must have. The measure of a game's enjoyment factor can be given in a number of ways. My favorite is the grass factor.Great software is addictive to the point it consumes your personal time.Unfortunately, chores (including cutting the grass around the house) tend to get neglected.Right now, my yard looks like a field... Perfect General 2 won't collect dust around your computer.I recommend it wholeheartedly.It's a winner.
For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

For DOS/Windows (via DOSBox) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
