Pacific Storm: The Midway Campaign
Pacific Storm: The Midway Campaign is a 1992 video game published by Simulations Canada and designed by R.C. Crandall.
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]
