After many delays Moonbases has finally been released. It was due way back in January, however, due to a number of problems with their previous publisher things didn't quite turn out this way.

For those of you that don't remember, Moonbases is a real-time strategy game much like the classic Dune2. Below is the storyline behind the game and some of the features it boasts.

6/02/2075 03:30 hours - The battle between Sigma Corporation and Omicron Incorporated begins. Both organisations have mined the Terren moon for two decades, extracting its rare and precious minerals for transport back to Earth. However Sigma Corp has become greedy, and sensing a weakness in their old rival, mounts a surprise lunar attack against the unprepared Omicoron Moonbases. The stage is set for a massive power struggle, in which there can be only one victor...

As a Commander in either Sigma Corporation or Omicron Incorporated, it is your responsibility to safeguard you company's future. To do this you must take control of your company's armed forces, and send them into battle against the enemy. You must take responsibility for resource acquisition, Moonbase expansion and maintenance, force construction, maintenance and deployment. Above all you must order your forces in the heart of battle, and strategies must work, for the alternative is unthinkable... Are you ready to take up the challenge?
