Patriot (video game)

Patriot is a computer wargame about the Gulf War, developed by Artech Digital Entertainment and published by Three-Sixty Pacific.

Computer Gaming World's April 1993 review began: QUESTION: What do Patriot and The Satanic Verses have in common?

He criticized the documentation, user interface, unrealistic unit strength, and lack of options such as military intelligence, logistics, or most close air support.

The reviewer stated that Patriot was "the first civilian wargame ever published which could be used immediately in the military for a CPX (Command Post Exercise).

The reviewer recommended that "casual gamers" avoid it, advised that the game be "marketed to the defense establishment as a serious tool for decision-making", and suggested that it might assist students in military staff colleges with coursework.
