Most-played Campaign games
Campaign II
DOSStrategy
Campaign II is a DOS strategy wargame developed and published by Empire Software. It presents historical World War II operations through an operational command perspective rather than a character-driven story. Players direct military formations, manage objectives, and attempt to turn battlefield decisions into a successful campaign. The game emphasizes planning, positioning, and the interaction between movement and combat. Its presentation is utilitarian and information-heavy, reflecting the design of early computer wargames. Reception was mixed: players who wanted a detailed military simulation appreciated its scope, while others found the interface demanding and the rules difficult to learn without careful study.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
