About this game

Army Men: RTS is an action-focused real-time strategy game developed by Pandemic and published by 3DO. Players manage two key resources: plastic and electricity.

Plastic is harvested from everyday objects such as Frisbees, dog bowls, and toys using Dump Trucks. Destroyed units and structures also leave behind recoverable plastic. Electricity comes from objects including batteries, toasters, and walkie-talkies, and is used for vehicles and Radio operator equipment. A Resource Depot is required to collect gathered resources.
