* ''[http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ProSIM/TFW/TFW_page.html The Falklands War]'' from the indie war [[Simulation Game]] studio Shrapnel Games. Besides recreating actual missions and battles from the war, it also offers several [[Alternate History]] takes on various engagements, including greater use of armed vehicles on the islands.
* Another upcoming indie war sim about the Falklands conflict is ''[http://www.thunder-works.com/ Jet Thunder]''.
* The enviroments (islands with a subarctic climate and overall atmosphere) and the [[The Eighties|time frame]] in which ''[[Operation Flashpoint]]'' takes place are inspired by various aspects of this war, even though the plot is quite different (a small-scale NATO and Soviet showdown threatening to erupt into [[World War Three]]). The game had several Falklands-themed [[Game Mod|Game Mods]] over the years, directly featuring both militaries and various battles of the war. If you own the Game of the Year edition of ''OFP'', you can grab the Falklands War total conversion [https://web.archive.org/web/20081231010130/http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=10588 here] and [http://ofp.gamepark.cz/index.php?showthis=10694 here]{{Dead link}} and run it from a custom mod folder. Sadly, the [[Development Hell]] it had gone through prevented its creators from making a proper campaign, so you'll have to play one of the three available missions or make your own in the game's editor.
