The King Tiger tank (also known as the Tiger II, Königstiger, and Royal Tiger) was far more than a highly modified Tiger I: it was a completely new vehicle that only shared a number of components with the late-production Tiger I tanks.
The 88mm KwK 43 was one of the most powerful tank guns employed during World War II, and could destroy virtually any Allied vehicle at almost any range allowed by the terrain.
The King Tiger went into combat in early 1944, and just as with most Tiger I tanks, they were assigned to the schwere Panzer Abteilungen (Heavy Tank Battalions) of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

Panzer General II returns to the ever-popular European World War II theater with a turn-based strategy game that plays out a variety of major battle scenarios with the plodding effectiveness of a tank.
Panzer General II, as its name implies, focuses exclusively on troop and tank warfare in Europe, including some aerial and naval combat for Blitzkrieg and beachhead scenarios, but there are no Pacific Theater, ship-to-ship scenarios or campaigns.
The box for Panzer General II touts the game as "The Sequel of the Century!" and "It's an entire generation beyond anything yet seen in strategy games." It is really only a solid, turn-based strategy game.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Panzer Dragoon II Zwei for Saturn at Epinions.com
At £14.99, Panzer Dragoon Zwei is the most expensive Saturn game I own, given how epic the first game was, I had absolutely no hesitation in shelling out that amount of cash for an 'old' game either.
Zwei is actually a prequel to Panzer Dragoon, and in it we play the immortal Blue Dragon, or Lagi as we learn his name is, as he/she/it grows into the beast we all know and love from the Sega Saturn's beatiful launch title.
Panzer Dragoon Zwei is a pretty unique sequel, in that instead of being a slightly disapointing or nigh identical follow up to a good game, it takes everything that is good about it's predeccessor, and improves on most of it.

Vista l'impossibilità di scagliare contro il nemico i suoi panzer, a causa della scarsità di rifornimenti, Rommel decise di adottare una strategia di difesa flessibile contro l'imminente offensiva britannica.
Gli uomini della 15ª Panzer erano riposati, avevano consumato un buon pasto e avevano avuto tutto il tempo per preparare se stessi, e i loro carri, all'azione.
Gli uomini della 15ª divisione Panzer furono comprensibilmente orgogliosi di essere riusciti a tornare in prima linea malgrado le gravi perdite subite.

It seems that at least two Panzer Dragoon LCD games were produced in the 1990s by Tiger Electronics: one was a handheld released as part of their Pocket Arcade line, and the other was a cartridge for Tiger's R-Zone handheld system.
Less is known about the Panzer Dragoon Pocket Arcade handheld (shown in the third image), though it appears that the Pocket Arcade and R-Zone games may actually be the same game, as they both use the same background graphic.

 GameSpy.com - Hall Of Fame: Panzer General
Released back in 1994, Panzer General, the first of the "five star" series, was a smashing success.
Allied General, Pacific General, Star General, Fantasy General (another Hall of Fame candidate), Panzer General II, People's General, Panzer General 3D: Assault, Panzer General III: Scorched Earth, and Warhammer: 40,000: Rites of War (which used the Panzer II engine) are all relatives of this "simple beer and pretzels" war game.
What made Panzer General so much fun was that it wasn't too complex (much to the chagrin of many hardcore war gamers) and it was very fast paced for a turn-based game.

 PzKpfw II
However, the vulnerability of the PzKpfw II to anti-tank guns was already made clear under the conditions of war in Spain, but seemed to be misinterpreted by the German General Staff who approved the continued large-scale production of the PzKpfw II.
While the armament was adequate for taking on its own kind, the PzKpfw II was too undergunned to deal with heavier hostile tanks and had no HE (high explosive) capacity at all.
One advantage possesed by the Schwimmpanzer II over Tauchpanzer, 'diving' versions of the medium tanks, was that it could use its guns during the landing.

Panzer General II was the first in the series to use 3D units, but those were pre-rendered.
One major design change from Panzer General II to Panzer General 3D was the shift in focus from unit experience to a system of leaders.
This robs the 3D Panzer General games of some of the charm of the earlier ones, where relatively weak units like a Panzer II tank could survive into the latter stages of a campaign and become quite powerful.
