Tigers on the Prowl
DOSTurn-based strategy
Tigers on the Prowl is a turn-based World War II tactical combat simulation developed and published by HPS Simulations for DOS. It models small-unit engagements involving infantry, tanks, artillery, and other support elements rather than presenting an arcade-style battlefield. Players issue orders across historical or scenario-based maps, manage line of sight and weapon capabilities, and attempt to complete military objectives under changing battlefield conditions. The game is aimed at dedicated wargamers and emphasizes procedure, planning, and historical detail. Its reception has generally been associated with the strengths of HPS’s early computer wargames: deep rules and flexible scenarios, balanced against an austere interface and a demanding learning curve.

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. |
