It's organized into a single list of the games with an Introduction on top. I
don't think it should be too subcategorized for each game entry as that just
bloats the outline, but feel free to edit an individual game to give some brief
information.

If you want to make a more detailed article about a particular game, then create
a specific article and then link to it from the GW computer and Console gaming
article.

I think one article per game would be more than sufficient.

(if you're going to write an article about a specific game, this thread is a good place
to call dibs)


Organization: I put most recent games on the top to facilitate a user looking
for something to play that's GW related.


I don't know if this is going to be a poor subject guide or not.

Let me know if you have some ideas for this article, or just go right ahead and
start editing.

what about Space Hulk, Heroquest, Space Crusade or Chaos?

Was there a Heroquest video game?

Feel free to edit them in. Those are ones I hadn't seen.

One of the few I've actually played.

I think there was a Heroquest Game but either it was a homebrew for the NES or never released and found later and put on the internet where you could play it on an emulator.

Space Hulk was on PC and Amiga in 93 I think. Then there was a remake a few years later on the consoles: 3DO, Playstation, and Sega Saturn.

Edit: Did a little checking. The last Space Hulk was also on PC as well as the consoles.

Heroquest did come out for PC, C64, and Amiga. The NES version was a canceled game that has made rounds on emulators. They are different games, the PC version is isometric and the NES is overhead. There was also a follow up on the PC/Amiga.

Perhaps I should do some "research" on this topic so as to
help fill out the article...

I'll be visiting Best Buy in the near future...

Ok, I have Soulstorm. Woohoo, gonna be fun!

Thanks for the edits grey death. I've put a small impression
on Soulstorm on the article.

Unfortunately, I haven't played the other games. I always
wanted to (based on my experience with Panzer General 2
and X-com UFO defense, for instance) but I never did.

I could always dig, I guess. (Or just play more games)

I have added basic details for some of the older games that were missed out. Heroquest is a fairly recent fan-made PC game ( http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=4948 ) and perhaps we should start a new article for unofficial games like that, the 40k online vassal mod, etc?

depends how far back you wanna go, Heroquest was a legit 8-bit release. The old Speccy classic Chaos was also based on GW.

Ah ok, I am only really familiar with the PC releases from the era. If you can dig out any information about those older console games then please feel free to edit the article and add them in
