Secret Weapons Over Normandy Interview 6

Courtesy of Gamespy, there's a new interview with Lawrence Holland about Secret Weapons Over Normandy. This sequel to the classic PC flight combat game Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe comes from Holland and his Totally Games development house, who are also legendary for the X-Wing series of games for Lucasarts. This game is due in time for Xmas on PC, PS2, and Xbox, and Holland offers - "We're not very complicated. What we emphasize is re-creating the WWII combat experience, meaning that we try a visceral, seat-of-the-pants, total involvement on the violence of the actual battles."

    I played Battle of Britain for over a year. It came before LAN/Internet gaming was common, it came before graphics really made their breakthrough (I played it on a VGA card that didn't even bother listing memory and was usually in EGA mode). But the campaign mode of that game was one of the best and allowed a different experience every time you "strapped in." On top of that, the manual was beautifully put together, chock full of historical information and "real" training for playing the game - I miss good game manuals that I could read for pleasure when I was nowhere near the computer.

    Basically, I'd buy just about any game with Mr. Holland involved and I certainly encourage those not familiar with his, and Totally Games, work.
