Wargle!
Atari 8-Bit Wargle!, released in 1983, was an action game based on the groundwork of strategic war games. Players could take a crack at being a commanding general, the leader of their own army, with the objective of defeating their opponent's forces.
The gameplay was intense and complex. Players had to either outmaneuver or outwit their opponents to score a victory. One of the strategies implemented was the use of superior production and supply management to create bigger and better units with greater offensive power. It was also essential for players to use adjustments to certain environmental elements, such as weather and terrain, to their advantage.
Battle scenes were depicted graphically in the traditional hexagonal grid style of a war board game. All battles were won or lost in a turn-based format, with sides receiving reinforcements according to the waves of infantry, artillery, armor, and air squadrons. These games could last for extended periods depending on the level of skill of each player, and due to its difficulty and complexity, Wargle! was said to have been an appealing title to challenge master strategist.
Atari also included a map editor tool within the game itself. This allowed users to create and modify their own battlefield scenarios. The tool was surprisingly intricate for the time. Players could alter a wide variety of terrain options such as hills, forests, and rivers, while also managing the amount of blue sky or overcast conditions in the environment.
Atari 8-Bit Wargle! was an in-depth and thought-provoking tactical simulation for those looking for a long-term game to challenge their skills. It required an immense amount of strategy, planning, and foresight from its players. The game quickly captivated a devoted following of gamers who enjoyed its complexity and long-form battles.
