Hey i want to play this old game can somebody told me how to install it ?

[pfman22]

@Axelgunner2 you will need to install DOSBOX to play this game on a modern PC.

PG still rules. There are people remaking it for modern machines.

Hearts of Iron is a mess, with ridiculously excessive and boring micro-management. It doesn't even come close to being as enjoyable as PG.

The recent Commander war in Europe look-alike isn't much better either.

@RabidRat88 I agree that is the mistake of the new generation of war strategy games.

you have to get the balance right and spending too much time micro managing is very boring.

PG is easy to play but difficult to master and very few games have come close to matching it. SSI were the masters at creating these games and no other developer has come close to matching them.

hoi an pg ain't really same genre.

I have to ask, what "console" are you playing it on? Sure can't be dosbox

[pfman22]

@RasmusbjorklundZ3rog I play PG on PS2

[SCMephisto]

My favourite strategic game !

@Axelgunner2 Google panzer general for ever. You get PZG1 and 2 for free and dont need to run it in Dosbox. Its win version.

It was the best. I still remember how much i loved it.

This is funny because this is on the PS1

HoI3 is (at least for now) a lot worse than the previous games.

Back on topic, i like PG2 better, but this was the game that got me into wargames and, just for that, brings me sweet memories.
