Z

Z is a real-time war game set in a free environment. You race to capture territory and resources, choosing what your factories produce while trying to defeat the enemy before they overpower you.

Capture territory

You capture and control installations, including factories that manufacture robots and vehicles, radar facilities and vehicle repair facilities. You decide what kind of robot or vehicle your factories make. An in-game world map and radar can be displayed at any time, and robot leaders give spoken alerts during battle.

Robots and vehicles

Six types of robot soldiers have individual personalities. They can perform up to 40 different actions and are armed with rifles, machine guns and antitank missile launchers. They may follow your orders into danger or run away. You can also control three types of tanks, jeeps, repair vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, field guns and missile launchers.

Levels and cut scenes

The game has 20 levels across five planets, each with distinct terrain ranging from Arctic waste to lands of fire and lava. Humorous movie sequences, totaling over 30 minutes, introduce and conclude each level. Movie and in-game voice-overs are available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, while a conditional music system reflects the battle's mood in real time. A pictorial player guide is included.
