- Task_Force_1942 abstract "Task Force 1942: Surface Naval Action in the South Pacific is a DOS PC game, released by MPS Labs (MicroProse) in 1992. The game is a surface naval simulation which allows the player to operate single ships or a task force made up of ships, from the United States Navy (USN), Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and Royal New-Zealand Navy (RNZN), or the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the South Pacific during WWII. It was designed to run under PC DOS or MS-DOS, version 5.0 or higher. The specific historical setting was the series of ferocious naval engagements fought around the largest island in the Solomon Islands chain, Guadalcanal, in 1942, including the following: Battle of Tassafaronga Battle of Empress Augusta Bay Naval Battle of Vella Lavella Battle of Savo Island Battle of Cape Esperance First and Second Naval Battle of Guadalcanal Battle of Kula GulfThe game was originally released on five 31⁄2" high density floppy disks. Copy-protection was provided by the 100 page Task Force 1942 identification book which had an illustration of each ship encountered in the simulation, including the ship specifications (class, maximum speed, dimensions, displacement, fuel capacity and armament). As stated in the manual appendices, the IJN did not issue ID manuals, they used copies of Jane's Fighting Ships to identify enemy vessels.The 76-page user manual details the history of the naval treaties during the pre-war period, and the development of the naval conflict in the Pacific that lead to the naval engagements fought around the island of Guadalcanal. The foreword was written by Vice Admiral William P.Mack (USN,Ret.), who also served as technical advisor during development of the simulation. The designer's notes by Lawrence Schick indicate that this was the Microprose simulation that covered surface vessel combat, with an as-yet-unnamed sequel to cover the carrier air war, i.e. 1942: The Pacific Air War. The 3-D graphics were developed from the Night Hawk: F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0 graphics engine.".
