Game Features

Using an easy-to-use point and click mouse interface, you'll experience 
all 20 campaign scenarios from the Master Strategist's perspective using 
the on-screen Mil-Op computer console.  You will receive  

instructions from the high command and learn about weather conditions in 
your battle region.  Gamers have the unique opportunity to view individual 
battles from an animated 3D perspective, and to plan their next move from 
a colorful and detailed top down, bird's eye view.  When networked, the up-
to-five gamers can battle head-to-head, heightening the intensity, and 
adding to the replayability of the scenarios.


To assist gamers with air, ground and sea deployment tactics, players have 
immediate access to an on-line database, and can view more than 50 3D 
futuristic robot weapons of war.  Throughout the game you can activate 
tanks, ships, and planes and construct roads, railroads, bridges and forts 
to support your robots.

The Story 

You are transported to the planet Chromos to become the Master Strategist 
of the Drullian Defense Council (DDC).  From the ROOM military command 
center you combat Titan-Net, a group of evil robot zealots out to dominate 
the planet Chromos.  Intensifying the precarious situation are the 
advancing renegade forces, DDC's own internal politics, and the ever 
changing dynamics of Chromos, both natural and man made.  Evil and corrupt 
forces continuously advancing against younever before has your tactical 
savvy been so challenged.

Can you save Chromos?  An army of enemy robots is betting that one false 
move will be your last!  Glory to the ROOM!
