Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds

Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds is a real-time strategy game set in 1898, where Martians have fled their dying homeworld and begun an invasion of Earth. Inspired by Jeff Wayne's musical play and H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel, it allows you to fight for either side of the conflict.

Choose Your Side

• Martians: Use superior technology and powerful, expensive war machines to conquer Great Britain and the rest of the world.
• Humans: Rely on larger numbers and resist the alien assault before the Martians' plans succeed.

Strategy and Development

There are no set missions or linear story path. Build forces and production facilities across your sectors, research new technologies, construct buildings, and create military units while managing time and preparing for enemy attacks. The survival of either the human or Martian species depends on your decisions.

Developed by Pixelogic and published by GT Interactive Software (Europe), Ltd., the game was released for PlayStation on November 19, 1999.
