Moonbase Commander

Moonbase Commander is a strategy computer game released in 2002 by Humongous Entertainment. The power of a shot is not preset but determined by how long the player holds down on the launch button. Moonbase Commander has 4 factions that can be played: NiceCo, DeWulf, System7, and Team Alpha. The Skirmish mode allows the player to fight up to 3 computer players of varying difficulty levels. The challenges progress linearly - when one challenge is complete, the next is unlocked. Originally internet play was only available through GameSpy however the Moonbase Commander Console was created shortly after the release of the original game to overcome this limitation and eventually became the most common method for fans to play online.
