Wing Commander: Armada

Overview

A strategy game base upon the popular Wing Commander Universe. This game sees you in command of either the Terran or Kilrathi empires in a bid to conquer a sector of space. This game provided 2 distinct modes of play with Armada being entirely tactically based and a far easier quick play method much like the mission creation facilities of Chuck Yeager's Air Combat of 5 years previous.

This game also featured multi-player support both in Quick play and Armada modes. The game could be played either in split-screen, network, serial or modem modes and was one of the first multi-player 3D space sims.

The game was ported to the FM Towns and PC-98 Japanese computers, with modem play completely dropped and leaving only the split screen multiplayer, but are otherwise mostly identical to the PC release
