Netwar
 

netWAR, 1997 by Learning Network & Semi Logic. This was an online only multiplayer game. This game was subscription based & the servers were only hosted by the game company, (like the game Netstorm). The company was charging too much for the subscriptions & not too many people bought the game. This resulted in the server service being discontinued after about a year & a half. Sadly, there was no client side server generation capability. This game was played from a bird's-eye perspective. You controlled one of 4 characters, each with a different weapon. Team-based, capture-the-flag & deathmatch-based maps. You could control vehicles & get power-ups through cities or jungles.

Semi Logic developed the game for Mindscape Inc. (ESA protected company)

Mindscape has 10 years protection so the game is protected until 2008.

It's 2008!
