Gameplay
[edit]MacArthur's War: Battles for Korea is an operational-level simulation game in which the player is a Corps commander in a larger battle or in a series of skirmishes.[2]
Reception
[edit]Jay C. Selover reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "Despite the tremendous sweep of the maneuvers during the first year, Korea has never been a "pretty" war and has always been seriously under-represented in wargaming. This alone makes MacArthur's War almost a "must". That the game is a darn good simulation, is easy to learn, and gives you a real feeling for the capabilities and operational limitations of both sides is just an added bonus."[2]
