Oh, how I miss the summer of '85, playing this game in my parent's basement on an an Apple IIe the school lent me for summer vacation. How many times did I defeat or was defeated by the Japanese forces? I cannot recall. But it was a great summer.
The gameplay is mostly in your head.
The commands are minimal, "T" to select your task force, "S" for Status, "M" for Map. "A" to access the carriers and Midway, and so on. Type a "?" to get a list of commands.
This is the older version I believe, The transports didn't have the Zuiho carrier with them as far as I could tell.

Just a great game if you can visualize in your mind the ships and planes dueling for control of the Pacific.
