Hi all, I'm here to post about the game I'm creating for NES, a real time strategy called Armed for Battle. This has been in production for 2 years, and is finally nearing it's completion.

There will be a demo by the end of the year - maybe sooner. If you PM me with your email, I will add you to a list that gets contacted at the time of demo release, cartridge release, etc.

I hope you like it, and look forward to any comments. If you'd like to know more about this game, please check out this interview at RetroGameNetwork.com, which will talk more in depth about the gameplay, and it also gives a bit of background for this project.



My latest progress has been on the instruction manual. Here is a sample:

As someone who's dabbed a bit in NES homebrew myself, it's a very daunting task. You seem to be really close to finishing it up though. Congrats!

What mappers are you using?

It uses UNROM. Thanks for asking - a bit daunting, yes.

I am highly interested. Shoot me information, this username at Gmail, when it becomes available.

There is a good chance that retrozone will have the carts, but stay tuned.

This would be the best, unless you want it in the Nintendo subforum.

A Real Time Strategy game on the NES? Has this been done before? As far as I know, Herzog Zwei is the first RTS and that was on the Genesis. I'm not sure if its prequel counts. I'm interested in this.

To my knowledge, no, there hasn't been real time strategy on NES. Thanks for the interest. As I mentioned, shoot me a PM with your email if you want to get notified of developments.
