Malta Storm

Malta Storm, subtitled "The Axis Siege of Malta", is a 1989 video game published by Simulations Canada that simulates the battle for the central Mediterranean during World War II.

Malta Storm is an operational and strategic game in which the Axis powers attempt to take control of the central Mediterranean by defeating the British forces on the island of Malta.

With the rise of the personal computer in the early 1980s, SimCan began to create text-only computer wargames that included a hex grid map and counters.

One of these was Malta Storm, created by Stephen Newberg, programmed by Robert Crandall and published in 1989 with box art by John Kula.

As a command study, however, Malta Storm has plenty to offer aficionados of military history who are more concerned with strategy than presentation.
