Operation Apocalypse is a game in which four World War II confrontations are simulated between German and American forces. [1]
Paul Todd and Russell Sipe reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "Operation Apocalypse is a two player game.

The game contains sufficient tactical problems and complexity to give it a realistic feel." [1]
