Gameplay

Overrun! is a computer wargame that simulates historical and hypothetical conflicts from 1973 onward.[1]

Development

Overrun! was designed by Gary Grigsby and released in 1989.[2] It is based on the game engine and mechanics of Grigsby's earlier Typhoon of Steel, itself adapted from his game Panzer Strike.[1][2] Grigsby revised the system to support modern warfare scenarios; the previous games had been set during World War II.[3]

Reception

In Computer Gaming World, Buddy Knight wrote, "All things taken together, Overrun! gives you your money's worth. I would heartily recommend buying a copy."[3] Erik Olson of Compute!'s Gazette was similarly positive toward the game: he dubbed it "possibly the most complex war game available for the 64" and "an excellent simulation".[4] Zzap!'s Robin Hogg wrote that it "[s]lips up in the possibilities of modern combat but despite this [is] an extensive and very comprehensive wargame."[1]
