Norway 1985

About

Norway 1985 is a turn-based strategy game where you command forces in a fictional Cold War clash between the US and USSR. Designed for players who enjoy careful planning and resource management, it tasks you with defending or invading Norway through tactical troop movements, supply line management, and terrain-based positioning. The retro Apple II and Commodore 64/128 versions run on pixelated maps with minimal graphics, relying on hex-grid mechanics and detailed unit stats to drive the action. The game stands out as part of SSI’s early 80s "When Superpowers Collide" series, which brought Cold War tension to strategy audiences before such themes became common. While it lacks modern polish, its straightforward mechanics and historical context earned it a steady following among TBS veterans. Multiplayer support on supported hardware adds replayability, making it a niche title for fans of old-school military simulations.
