Area 88 Wargame?
« on: 17 August 2011, 07:28:22 PM »
I remember seeing a fighter jet game somewhat based on the series Area 88. Can anyone remind me what this game was?

Was it a board game or an electronic game? There was an Area 88 Super Famicom game that was released for Super Nintendo in the States as "UN Squadron".

Sorry, it was a tabletop war game. It seemed to have a campaign system so that you could upgrade jets or buy new ones depending on how much money you make. I think it was released last year.

The folks at The Miniatures Page found it for me. It is Mercenary Air Squadron from VBAM Games.
