Wow, this stuff was quite awesome as a kid. Played this with my brother controlling a tank. We took turns driving and gunning at the same time on same keyboard. Quite a thrill, took our comms to the next level at the time and got us rekkin'. Only place where I got that feeling back was in HLL modern times with some mates. Couldn't play it for long as HDD's weren't that big and needed space for the next thing. This was quite big at the time.
Never played this game before but its pics and trailer in Computer Gaming World magazines fascinated me.
As someone who enjoyed Hybrid genre games like Giants Citizen Kabuto and to some extent Brutal Legend I would really love to see this game get preserved since its pretty much forgotten at this point in time.
Even on Youtube there is hardly any footage of this game that is not two decades old.
It honestly does not deserve to be forgotten considering how unique its ideas are to mix RTS, FPS, and TPS, with military vehicles in large open world Battlefields I am pretty sure this was quite impressive for its time.
I really like that one, it's a unique mix of arcade and RTS - it's not perfect, but worth playing for sure. I still have it on CD. We can command our units from the map or take over one of them and control it directly. AI leaves a lot to be desired but it was so fun, really. Very interesting game.
In campaign mode, World Wide War Web, we conquer virtual representations of countries/continents - we start from Africa and end on Russia. We could call in airstrikes and supply drops, even drones for recon. After defeating each of the countries, we receive some of its units as a reward to conquer the next one.
In Instant mode we need to destroy several units or buildings and find exit - our time is limited.
Although there was little content in Internet about this game, I've recently recorded all missions from World Wide War Web and Instant mode. Won't provide the link here, but you can find it on youtube.
As a kid this game was impossible to beat. Now as an adult it's impossible to find. This Game was well ahead of its time with a surprisingly complex command and control system that is largely ignored for the sole purpose of 3-D tank warfare or flying a helo.

Gratuitous Space BattlesWho needs backstory? Who needs resource-gathering? Diplomacy is so last year. Gratuitous Space Battles cuts right to the chase of sci-fi strategy games, and deals with large, completely unjustified space battles between huge opposing space fleets.Action Science fiction
