This Africa-themed batch ranges from desert campaigns and imperial maps to two very different racers, with a few designs that ask for patience before they show their hand.

Africa

In Cold War influence contest, money can stabilize friendly states, unsettle hostile ones, and place rebels before the armies move. The hex map makes cities vital recruiting points, while dice-led combat and retreat routes can turn a prepared attack into a disaster.

Afrika Korps

In Libya and Egypt command map, Allied and Axis forces fight across 1941–43 North Africa with supply, artillery, reserves, and flanking all pressing on each turn. The strategic and tactical views suit the campaign, although the mouse scrolling and keyboard-heavy commands ask for real concentration.

Centurion: Defender of Rome

In Roman provincial conquest, taxation, public happiness, diplomacy, and legion recruitment sit alongside battles for provinces. Chariot races, gladiatorial bouts, and naval contests break up the map game, so compare which of those diversions you actually return to after a hard campaign.

F17 Challenge

In third-person Formula 1 season, Arcade mode demands top-three finishes while Normal mode lets championship points carry a poor result. Collisions bring damage and pit repairs into the race, making traffic and barriers as troublesome as the next braking point.

Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge

In Lotus Esprit road race, 32 fictional courses, fuel stops, and a grid that pushes good finishers backward keep the arcade ladder lively. The simultaneous two-player split screen is still the obvious invitation here: who can handle oil slicks and refuelling without handing the other driver the race?

Rorke’s Drift

In Rorke's Drift defense, the 1879 outpost battle can be paused for individual orders before volleys and melee play out in real time. One scenario follows the historical deployment, while another varies the Zulu assault, so discuss whether you would rather defend a known layout or react to a changing attack.

Super Hang-On

In African checkpoint course, Africa serves as the Beginner route in a four-continent, against-the-clock motorcycle tour. Other riders block the road, off-road slips kill speed, and downshifting is the only stated way to slow the always-moving bike.

Vulcan: The Tunisian Campaign

In Tunisian campaign map, the push from Torch toward Tunis unfolds through five scenarios, including Kasserine and Mareth. Rivers can close a route, mountains can conceal movement, and alternate conditions such as Malta's control reshape the opening problem.

Which would you fire up first: the political maneuvering of Africa, the careful North African campaigns, or a race against the clock on Super Hang-On's Africa route?
