Vulcan: The Tunisian Campaign is a 1986 video game published by Cases Computer Simulations. It is the third in a series of computer wargames written for the ZX Spectrum by Robert T. Smith, following the similarly styled Arnhem and Desert Rats.[1]
Gameplay
[edit]Vulcan: The Tunisian Campaign is a game in which players can play through four tactical level scenarios, or the entire strategic level 1943 campaign in Tunisia.[2]
Reception
[edit]H. E. Dille reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Vulcan is a fine game for novice and intermediate level wargarners, or anyone with a particular passion for this period. The improvements made to the operating system are logical and appreciated, although long term re-playability is still an issue. Bottom line: Nothing truly innovative, but recommended nonetheless."[2]
Phillipa Irving concluded in Crash issue 39, "This is Spectrum wargaming at its very best; complex in operation, wide in scope, and easy to use".[1]
