MicroProse is back from the dead and serving up three all-new strategy games for starving fans.

PC gamers from a certain era will remember that name MicroProse fondly. They were the publishers that brought you such classic titles as Civilization 1 and 2, Master of Magic, Master of Orion 1 and 2, and MechCommander. They went defunct in 2003, but thanks to the makers of TitanIM (an open-world military simulation game engine), MicroProse is back.

Better than back, MicroProse also just announced three new games that are currently in development.

The first is Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age. This game takes place in the early ’80s with NATO and Warsaw Pact forces coming into direct combat in the world’s oceans. You’ll take command of Cold War-era technology like F-14 Tomcat fighters, Tu-95 bombers, Nimitz-class carriers as they duke it out in real-time.

Sea Power is billed as an “action strategy simulation” game, so don’t expect to be farming resources like a typical RTS.

Next up we have Second Front, a tactical World War 2 game. Right off the bad, MicroProse describes Second Front as “deeper than your average X-COM clone,” which should be all you need to know about this turn-based strategy game.

Second Front has multiple campaigns for German, American, and Russian units. There are about 200 vehicles in the game ranging from American Jeeps to Russian T-34s, with battles taking place on a 60-turn cycle. Battles are dynamic with units being affected by multiple different status conditions including fatigue and experience.

And if you get bored with the campaigns, you can build your own levels with the built-in mission editor.

Finally, we arrive at Task Force Admiral Vol.1: American Carrier Battles. Where Sea Power takes place in the Cold War, Task Force Admiral puts you in the commander’s chair of a World War 2 carrier task force at the beginning of the Pacific theatre. This command simulation game will put you against the Japanese Navy in 1942 when the outcome of the war was still very much in doubt.

There’s no release date for any of these games (yet), but you can wishlist all of them on Steam now.
