Set within a virtual world where Kilobytes grow in fields, Tetrominers roam the motherboard and Lightcycles race past plasma beams, Console Wars is an eclectic mix of gaming history delights. Fundamentally a real time strategy, you decide who will dominate the future of gaming as the RETRO fight the NXTGN in twenty levels of action. Register your email to enter competitions, access level guides and receive cheat codes. Watch out for bonus crates to enter secret prize draws. I'll also add a few codes here in a couple of weeks.

Fingers crossed, if the game proves popular we'll get the go ahead to convert the game to AS3 and then for more levels, an online level editor and maybe even multiplayer online.

I hope you like it.

Use the left mouse button to select / build units
Spacebar, double left click or middle mouse button to deselect units
Use the cursor keys to navigate the map
Shift and the left mouse button allows you to select multiple units
"Q" and a number (1-9) assigns units to a group
Press the number previously assigned to select a group
Press "W" and the number assigned to jump to that group
Click on the X (top left) to pause or surrender
"H" returns you to your main base
Click the spanner icon to repair units
Click the dollar icon to sell units

Retro Level 8: "exception", Level 9: "roswell"
NXGN Level 8: "knights", Level 9: "snes"
If the game is running slow enter "widescreen" on the title screen to clear the shroud

I absolutely love this game! You should really add a free play mode and maybe make the area bigger. This game rocks!

"Great game!"

It killed the rest of my day. :>
Great audio, smooth animation, and user controls okay.
A few problems I found, which annoyed the hell out of me in the tougher levels - the units move slowly, and sometimes I select them, click, and they don't move at all, or they move a little ways (usually in the wrong way), then stop. Also, I'd post a unit somewhere, and when an enemy pulls up, it'd just stand there and not return fire. I knocked off two points for all of those problems, but it is truly a good game.
Great job! :)

But yea, movement is too slow. And the defender ship jsut sits there and get shot! WTF.

Tip on how to beat last level on Retro:

First, just get 5 invaders, a bunch of turrents, and a tank or two. send out your miner with your tank as cover. Use invaders and those triangle thingies to ward off the NxtGn. Then, when they start unleashing beams at you and slow down their infantry, but all the tanks, speeders, and invaders you can (but first go destroy their weapons with invaders, otherwise you still get beamed) and destroy their turrents and "life support." I got it done with over $12000 :P

"Good concept but..."

date: December 6, 2008

the pace of the game was ridiculously slow. I end up waiting minutes for my units to arrive at location and have nothing to do while I'm waiting. Maybe it was just me as I didn't get very far into the game (I quit to go play Starcraft) but even so, the beginning levels should be much faster and more units should be available from the start.
