About the game

Close Combat: The Battle of the Bulge is a video game released in 1999 for Win. VG90 lists it as a reference record so the title stays discoverable alongside the thousands of other releases that defined the leap into 3D.

By 1999 the landscape around releases like this was set — polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. Reading Close Combat: The Battle of the Bulge against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the leap into 3D produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes

Recorded platform(s): Win (1999). VG90 stores this as factual reference data; richer media may be added over time as legally sourced material becomes available.
