D-Day: America Invades is a 1995 computer wargame developed by Atomic Games and published by Avalon Hill for IBM PC compatibles and Macintosh. It is the third game in the World at War series, following Operation Crusader and World at War: Stalingrad.
Set in World War II, D-Day: America Invades is a computer wargame that simulates D-Day and the following fight for territorial advantages.[1]
Development
The game was originally announced by developer Atomic Games under the title America Invades! as a revamped version of V for Victory: D-Day Utah Beach.[2] As a consequence of Atomic Games' split with publisher Avalon Hill in September 1995,[3] D-Day: America Invades was the two companies' last game together. According to Alan Emrich of Computer Gaming World, Atomic's Keith Zabalaoui called this "purely a business decision" and clarified that there was no ill will between the companies.[4]
The PC release of the game shipped to retail without an installation routine.[5] This required users to keep the CD-ROM in the drive to play it, though a bug involving the CONFIG.SYS file could still prevent the program from detecting the disc.[6] Avalon Hill later addressed the problems with a version 1.01 patch.[7]
