BattleDuel. We got the idea for BattleDuel when we played 'Artillery Duel' on the C-64.
After some hours of playing we got annoyed by some small bugs and other
insufficincies. Soon we agreed to program an Amiga version.
There are already some games of this type on the Amiga but they mostly lack
good graphics and game play. We wanted the game to be very near to the
orginal. Furthermore we got many ideas about improvements and
options that had to be build in :-)
BattleDuel can be played with up to 8 players,
offers computer opponents with selectable difficulty,
has 5 play modes: normal duel-mode, 2 tournament-modes, conquer mode and a training mode,
has a team mode: two teams (each with two players) can play against each other,
has a network mode: games with nullmodem, modem, parnet/pronet and TCP/IP are possible,
is programmed completely system friendly,
is multitasking friendly,
adjusts to ECS, AGA and graphicboards automatically (only 1 program),
has nice graphics and sound-effects and has a nice gadtools interface.
Requirements: Kickstart2.04 or higher and at least 1 MByte chip memory.
English, German, Italian and Norwegian version included. BattleDuel is Copyright 1995-1999 Jochen Terstiege, Michael Davied and Marco Seine.

Press:
Amiga Magazin 9/96: "...the technical most advanced artillery-game for Amiga."
Amiga Future No.31: "After all is Battle Duel worth a try, especially because itīs now officialy freeware in the Aminet. But you have to be aware that it can be a long try, which will last for hours and more."
