See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Philips Media has a CD-i version of Axis & Allies by CapDisc available now for US$37.50, call 1-800-CAPDISC in the U.S. If you are interested in ordering discs for resale, call the Philips CD-i Direct Orderline at 1-800-824-2567 in the U.S. Also, there have been a few attempts by various readers of rec.board.games to produce a working version. [If you want your program mentioned, please let me know.] Chris Adamson, maintainer of the 'CD-i Reviews & Info' web page, http://www.america.net/~plucky/cd-i.html, gives the following review of A&A for CD-i: "For now, it's the only game in town as far as computer-mediated A&A goes, but CapDisc's version for the CD-i leaves much to be desired. The first of its two great sins is the interface: painfully confusing, your controls change radically depending on what you're doing. Meanwhile, the save feature consumes 75% of the CD-i player's storage (6,500 bytes to remember where the pieces are for one turn?), making it practically useless. The upside? Popular house rules are available, and you get digitized B&W war footage running constantly at the bottom left of the screen." Many readers, disappointed by the lack of a computerized version of Axis & Allies, have repeatedly asked other netters what other games exist on computer that are similar to A&A. Due to the variety of games that might fill this role, we suggest you ask on the newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic. You are bound to get some helpful replies.
