Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a post-apocalyptic action game where you play as Griffin Spade, a BattleLord who has established a tribe with his wife, QueenLord Madison, and their son. You must defend your family and tribe from other gangs and a mysterious, powerful QueenLord, utilizing various tanks and strategies.
Story
The World of 2006
You are Griffin Spade, BattleLord. The apocalypse began in 2001 with the X-2 virus, which infected only women. Civilization quickly collapsed as the female population dwindled.
Panic spread among men, leading governments to forcibly relocate all remaining women to secret facilities. This sparked riots and international conflict, culminating in a global nuclear war that devastated over 50% of the planet.
New Societies
Formal governments dissolved, and survivors formed groups. Some became ruthless "Gangs," while others established peaceful "Tribes."
In these new societies, women are called QueenLords. They serve as tribal rulers and are fiercely protected by both Gangs and Tribes.
Your Story
You acquired a National Guard tank and built your own Tribe. Your mission was to cross the country to save Madison, your fiancée, who was separated from you during the government's relocation efforts.
You triumphed over many Gangs and established your Tribe in San Francisco, with Madison as its QueenLord. Together, you have begun to rebuild the world.
Your Family
You and Madison have a three-year-old son, Brandon, who is unusually intelligent and active. Keeping him safe is your highest priority.
The Nightmare
As the game begins, you are plagued by nightmares of a sinister QueenLord you've encountered before. Her evil face and mysterious power suggest she is more than human. Your instincts tell you she is spying on your family with a terrible purpose, and the truth will soon unfold.
RHINO
This heavy tank-destroyer is built from a medium chassis with extensive armor. It has 6 inches of Chobham composite armor on the front, making it almost invulnerable from that direction. However, its sides and rear are easily damaged.
M-80 DEMOLITION TANK
This is a kamikaze tank with no gun for long-range attacks. It is equipped with three on-board neutron warheads.
B-6 BULLDOG
This siege vehicle is popular with urban Gangs. It features one giant cannon that fires 300mm explosive shells. These short-ranged shots can be lobbed over walls or used to devastate enemy tanks.
SHREDDER
This gatling tank has a killer turret that delivers a steady stream of destruction. It is effective for point defense or for engaging multiple enemies when surrounded.
