Gameplay

Pacific Storm: The Midway Campaign is a game in which up to two players engage in a strategic-level wargame beginning on May 15, 1942, playing through nine two-week turns, and players can either play as Admiral Yamamoto or Admiral Nimitz. [1] It is a text only game, the second release in the line after Pacific Storm - The Solomons. [2]

Reception

Alan Emrich reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "While it has always seemed that [the price] is a lot to pay for a computer wargame with no graphics or sound support, it is nonetheless impressive to find a wargame that, at its highest level of play, can be finished in under 15 minutes. [...] The 'Storm' series from SimCan is one of their best". [1]

The PC Games Bible called Simulations Canada "the masters of tactical computer moderated games", noting that their products are "very specialist, effectively a computer moderated board game, no graphics, text driven, and complex." [2]
