Slag (stylized as SLAG) is a strategy-oriented war game written by Stewart Eastman for the TRS-80 and published by Adventure International in 1980.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
Slag is a multiplayer war game in which each player controls a nation and must destroy the industry of all other players.[3] According to the game's promotional material, "diplomacy is the major factor; but, strategic end tactical planning and eye and hand coordination are very important".[1]
Reception[edit]
J. Mishcon reviewed Slag in The Space Gamer No. 38.[3] Mishcon commented that "All in all a well balanced game with a lot of very nice options, but a game that heavily depends on your hand-eye coordination to shoot down those missiles. Buy it only if you're really into coordination."[3]
