Like many other attempts at video adaptations of board games, they are dependent on the goodwill of a single person, and these projects tend to die once the initial enthusiasm has faded.

Presentation

 

Conlan Rios (from Palo Alto, California) had created 2 computer games, one based on Samurai Blades (On Deadly Ground), the other one on Cry Havoc (Test Of Faith). Unlike CyberBoard or Vassal, it is no PBEM or On-Line boardgaming like the others, but a true computer game, where movements, missile fire and combats are solved by the computer. No tables or rule booklet are needed anymore to play!

2 players could play on the same computer, or you play against a computer opponent, or watch two computer opponents fighting.

This game is no longer available as the site which hosted no longer exists.
