→Khe Sanh
The program loads easily and the directions are easy to follow.
==Documentation: == Khe Sanh comeswith a six-page manual that adequatelyexplains how to play the game. ==Value: == Because it is programmed inBASIC, the game is somewhat slow,though this is not a problem. Once youget into it. trying to develop a winningstrategy takes up most of your timeanyway. Playing Khe Sanh gets to befrustrating after awhilea while, just as theactual fighting of the Vietnam Warwas a frustrating experience for individualsand the country as a whole.Eventually you learn that as long asyou try to protect something, in thiscase the roads and airstrip, your hopesof wir;ning winning the war will be realized·onlyrealized only if the battles are short and few. I'vewon several "five-week" wars, butnone that were longer. If you are a patient sort who enjoysthe challenge of plugging away at animpossible goal, you may enjoy thisgame. I do. Joystick jockeys may wantto think twice about it. A shoot-em-upthis is not.
