Midway Campaign

Midway Campaign is an old (1981) Avalon Hill wargame written in BASIC that simulates the battle of Midway Island in WWII. The game was already installed when I got my first computer (IBM PC/XT) in 1985. At first I couldn't figure out how to play, but eventually I learned the mechanics of the game and ended up playing it quite often.
