Rising Sun Gold - PC

Won't run on windows 8

Is this game a great game? Draw your own conclusions:If you enjoy a game in which the slightest movement of your mouse will cause the game board to immediately scroll to the nearest side, and does this repeatedly each turn...then RSG is a great game!If you enjoy a game in which you must repeatedly move hex by hex, lest the AI move your unit in a direction other than you wish, often bringing your unit into a hex where enemy op fire can hit it...and does this repeatedly if you click on a target hex, then RSG is a great game!If you enjoy a game in which the available hex mode shows that your unit is able to move to a target hex, and you take the AI's word for it, resulting in often falling two to three hexes short, frequently exposing units to enemy fire, then RSG is a great game!If you enjoy a game in which a fully detailed manual is NOT included (and 30% of RSG contains entirely new data!), then RSG is a great game!Unfortunately all of TSG games share more, most or all of the above short-falls. I rate RSG as deserving only 2 stars.

I own Rising Sun...and Rising Sun Gold....The first one came with a detailed paper manual, the second not. All I gained was 22 scenarios. However, this is a great classic hex based wargame with a nice multimedia overhaul (sounds and 3D tanks and troops). I played this game on an old 333MHz computer and it worked fine. The complains voiced by Maurice are partly right, partly his fault. This is a turn based wargame were speed of action has no place. The computer moves one unit after the other and will not respond to any mouse movements until action is finished (you can double the speed of these events). If you move the mouse before, the computer will scroll to the side at the end of all actions. My units always reached the hex the computer told me they could reach, but to do this they used the easiest way (not the safest). That's why there is a line of sight. Even in Combat Mission line of sight is essential and you have to figure it out yourself. The AI is better than average (see nice explanations in reviews from East Front 2). Compared to these older games (compiled in Europe in Flames), you get here night scenarios (very interesting) and Japanese bunkers and Banzai attacks (fun).

I had this game years ago and then switched to a mac. recently bought a used PC with windows XP. bought this game and europe in flames. just really fun ww2 strategy games.

One of my all-time favorite games. I bought this game so long ago. I'm here looking for a download, so I can play on my Microsoft Surface Pro.Found it! Go to - Matrix Games - John Tiller's Campaign Series.... It's an electronic download of a updated version (Feb / 2014) of Talonsoft Rising sun gold, Plus Europe East Front & West Front games! only thirty clams!

I love these Talon Soft games because they take me back to the old days with the board games. Europe in Flames is better only because it has more stuff.

Adolf comes stepping into the States, but quickly meets with great apocoliptic resistance. This game is a mix of fortress america, risk and Panzer General. You will not be able to put this game down....it's like a bag of Lay's brand potato chips. ENJOY!
