Game Information

Main & Mangle is a real-time wargame in the same style as Dune 2 or Command and Conquer. While it is inspired by Dune 2, it is certainly not a boring clone! M & M will be one of the most technically demanding Amiga games released to date. However, despite all of the wizardry envolved, game-play will always be the top priority.

Feature List

Some of the features you can expect to see in M & M are:

• Multiplayer games via TCP/IP:
  M & M will have full TCP/IP support, so whether you have two Amiga's linked together over a serial cable, or they are on a network, you will be able to fight your friends to the death!
• Save option for multiplayer games:
  Hey, waging a full out assault takes time, and you might not be able to fit it into one session. So we've included the provision to save a multiplayer game.
• 3D landscape:
  The landscape in M & M is fully 3D. This means that units can hide behind hills, infantry can scale cliff faces and canyons, vehicles can fall off cliffs, etc.. Units will progress slower up a slope and faster down a slope. Units on a hilltop will have a longer range of fire, however, they will have a 'blind' spot immediately below them.
• Night-time combat:
  Present day wars don't always take place during the day-light, and the wars of the future will be no different. Therefore, night-time combat will also be present in M & M. To complement this, infantry will have flashlights, vehicles will have headlights & bases will have searchlights. Additionally, night-time vision equipment and flares will also play an integral part on the M & M battlefield.
• Weather effects:
  As all battles do not take place during the day, likewise they do not always take place during fair weather. Thus, weather effects such as rain storms, dust storms, fog, etc. will also be encountered within the game.
• Way-point navigation:
  To complement the movement currently found in games of this style, M & M will have a 'way-point' style of directing your units. This will allow the player to tell the units to avoid known landmarks and enemy encampments.
• Light sourcing:
  Explosions and lights in M & M will also light up the surrounding terrain. This will be especially stunning in the night-time battles*.
• Plus many more!
  In addition to the above features, M & M will include several other features such as a R & D element [akin to Genesia], an on-line library system of known units, and an extensive plot to support the action!

System Requirements

Maim & Mangle will be one of the most demanding games for the Amiga. To fully enjoy M & M we recommend a CD-ROM and graphics card. The minimum requirements will be along the lines of a 25Mhz 030, AGA, and 8 Megs of FAST RAM. Currently we are planning on releasing a PPC version first, in order to support the Amiga's future and implement the visual effects we desire.
