The first strategy/wargame I ever played, back in 1987. The game has the option to create your own battlefields and armies to fight with, from ancient times to modern. The original game came with several scenarios/battles, and there was even more released later on. It's a great turn based strategy/wargame. The graphics are spartan, but they work well for the game.

Cluedo: Master Detective
Cluedo: Master DetectiveA murder is announced. Whodunit? Was it Madam Rose in the carriage house with the poison? Monsieur Brunette in the trophy room with the horseshoe? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with his trusty revolver? Play the home computer version of your favorite game of criminal detection just as you would on the board game, with friends. Or do what you can't do with the board version: play against the ultimate master of deduction, your own computer! You can even do both: play with a mixture of human and computer-controlled opponents! Enjoy the enhancements the computer can bring to the game play, such as graphic animation and sound. Watch Miss Peach stroll into the gazebo and hear the twittering of songbirds. Clue Master Detective is an enhanced version of the game Clue you know and love. The new game has even more to exercise your "little grey cells"- more suspects, more possible murder locations (indoors and outdoors), and more weapons- in fact, more mayhem! So put away your violin, put on your deerstalker hat, fill your meerschaum pipe, and start sleuthing! Who will be the first to the solution? You, your friends, or the computer? The game's afoot!
