Flojomojo Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 What are you looking to get out of it? Maybe read a book instead? M*A*S*H for the Atari 2600 is the game for you. Helicopters and surgery. It's set in Korea but was clearly an allegory for the Vietnam conflict. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozone212 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 It's not academic, I'm really looking for modern games that are set in the vietnam war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don't know about portraying the war accurately and it's not exactly recent at this point, but I remember the Vietcong series being pretty good at the time. https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/vietcong-series 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) battlefield bad company 2's vietnam DLC hit just about every one of the media stereotypes. The government actually has a way of sapping all the fun out everything, even guns, jets and explosives--so 'accurate' it is not. 🤣 I quite enjoyed this one for a time back on ps3, and it's still available here on steam, but it's probably wise to see how active it is online first. Of course the flip side is that anybody playing a DLC online for 10+ years is going to be unstoppable.

Atariboy Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I thought the Vietnam missions in Jane's USAF were well done. Spent many an hour back in the day bombing Vietcong positions in my F-105 Thunderchief and dogfighting against Migs with the F-4 Phantom. Wasn't a super realistic sim like Falcon 4.0, but it was still definitely a simulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their stories being ignored is a tragedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
