A 3D virtual reality tank action game set inside a virus-infected information network.
The briefing
I-War is a 3D virtual reality tank game in which you enter the I-Way, a virtual world infected by viruses, and clear them out with an anti-virus tank.
Across 21 levels, you must collect all data pods and reach the exit while facing enemy tanks, turrets, bombers, traps, and locked doors controlled by hidden switches. The levels are arranged as enclosed rooms connected linearly by one-way teleporters.
At the start, you can choose a fast, medium, or heavy tank. Their strengths differ in speed, firepower, and durability. Weapon power-ups and upgrades—including shields, radar, and auto-targeting—help you withstand increasingly numerous defenders.
Progress can be saved to the cartridge at the end of each level. Between stages, bonus rounds challenge you to pilot the tank through a corridor and collect a target percentage of data pods; meeting the requirement awards an extra life.
