Released1989
Military Madness (released as Nectaris in Japan) is a futuristic turn-based strategy war game. The year is 2089 and the setting is Earth’s moon, which yields many important resources. While the governments of Earth bicker over their staked claims on the moon, the evil Axis Empire launches a lunar military campaign and takes over the moon, using its factories to produce advanced weaponry, the most devastating of which is the SAM (Supreme Atomic Missile). As commander of the Allied forces, it is the player’s responsibility to lead what’s left of the Allied armies in a desperate offensive against the Axis Empire on the lunar surface before they can use the SAM to destroy Earth.

About This Game

Overpopulation forces humanity to expand beyond Earth, and the moon becomes the next frontier for colonial settlement. When the Axis Powers establish dominance across the lunar landscape, the Allied Forces mobilize to reclaim control of the celestial body. Players command forces across a top-down battlefield, navigating tactical movements and positioning to outmaneuver hostile troops. Upon engaging enemy units, the perspective shifts to a detailed close-up view where individual skirmishes play out in real-time combat. The struggle for lunar supremacy becomes a series of escalating confrontations that will determine humanity's future in space.
