Operation Europe on SNES is one of those WWII strategy games that actually makes you feel like you're moving pieces on a massive war map. You pick either the Allies or Axis, then dive into six real battles from 1939 onward—everything from the early blitzkriegs to the desperate final stands. At first, I just threw tanks at the problem, but then I realized sabotaging supply lines or sneaking commandos behind enemy lines works way better. Also, seeing names like Patton and Rommel pop up when assigning orders gives it this weirdly personal touch.

The controls take a minute to get used to (classic SNES menu-diving), but once it clicks, you start plotting moves like a proper general. Just don’t expect flashy cutscenes—it’s all about the slow, satisfying grind of outmaneuvering the other side. If you’ve ever wanted to rewrite history with slightly clunky but charming 16-bit tactics, this is your chance.
