BOH is meant to have a strong "retro" feeling, that is why graphics are 2D and have been pixelled by hand, and the resolution is low with respect to modern standards. At the same time, there are also more modern elements like: full screen interpolated rotation, (basic) ray-tracing, 24-bit lighting with virtually unlimited light sources, 8-bit alphachannel, window/screen zooming, 7 audio channels with dynamically controlled volume, 6 different enemy AIs - all of which calculated in real-time by just the CPU and running at 50 FPS (unless automatic frame skipping kicks in on less powerful machines). More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
