All in all, Panzer General is a unique title with immense replay value. The campaigns take a (mostly) historical path, with certain bonus missions becoming available if the player performs well enough. Panzer General keeps the focus operational: there is no vast reordering of the German economy, no choice of whether to invade Poland or attack France through Switzerland.
PC titles to this point often focused on one aspect of the many campaigns, or took the grand strategy approach, allowing the player to run entire countries in the simulation. Published by SSI, a leader in turn based strategy titles in the ‘90’s, Panzer General for PC ran in DOS and offered gamers the chance to re-fight most of the major campaigns of the Second World War from the perspective of a German Panzer General.
Before there was Blitzkrieg, Call of Duty, or IL2 Sturmovik, there was Panzer General.
