MicroProse, a name synonymous with gaming nostalgia, teams up with DryDock Dreams Games to announce an extraordinary Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming “First Team” Physical Edition of Task Force Admiral. Launching January on Kickstarter, this exciting campaign celebrates the golden age of PC gaming and offers fans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a spectacular physical first edition of Task Force Admiral and so much more!
What is Task Force Admiral?
Task Force Admiral: Volume 1 – American Carrier Battles invites players to relive the pivotal naval battles of World War II with the most detailed 3D carrier command simulation ever created. Set during the Pacific War from December 1941 to February 1943, players take command of legendary U.S. Navy ships like the Yorktown and Enterprise. This PC-exclusive title blends historical authenticity with an immersive, diegetic interface, capturing the spirit of classic 1990s strategy games for a modern audience.
With over 30 scenarios to explore and a robust scenario builder to create custom campaigns, the game offers an unmatched naval warfare experience. Whether passionate about wargaming or history, Task Force Admiral delivers a thrilling and immersive journey into the heart of carrier command.
The Kickstarter campaign is dedicated to enabling the launch of a limited-edition physical “big box” version of the game, a nod to the beloved legacy of MicroProse. This nostalgic offering brings back the tactile joy of owning a PC game box filled with treasures, making it a collector’s dream.
“As game boxes have vanished from shelves, we felt it was time to bring back this cherished tradition,” says the team at DryDock Dreams Games. “This campaign is about more than funding—it’s about creating an authentic 1990’s gaming experience for our fans.”
