Looking for this wargame designed by Peter Turcan and published by PSS. Thanks.

If it is not in the TOSEC dats, I can't help at all

It's not in TOSEC, unfortunately.

Discovered so far:

WATERLOO
(Am/ST/I) Strategic Simulations, Inc.; Peter Turcan; 1990; ***+
Int/Land/Op
0-2
SSI's import of the British simulation of the famous battle, as seen from the "commander's eye". Much more of a wargame than the historic staff simulations more commonly produced, it was a fascinating albeit frustrating game. Designer Peter Turcan has also designed BORODINO and ARMADA.

edit: more info

Browsing some CD listing I was able to finde the game in 4 CDs (but I have no one of them).

They are:

Ami 03
Enigma 02
Tuna 02
Totally Amiga 96 big

So, it is possible to find it. Just hope one which owns one of these cds can find it and upload the game.

I had a DMS of it, so I converted it to adf. It's in the zone...

Thanks Twistin'

I couldn't find it anywhere, except a few reviews and such. Not even the advanced NG search on google helped

Twistin'Ghost · 09 June 2002, 09:56

It never even occured to me that it could be rare. I think my DMS was made from my original, actually.

I used the U.S. SSI box for my quadruple-barrel image above, since the one you always see on ebay is the European box here...

Thanks Twistin'. This was among the first few I bought for my A500.
