For years, this was probably our favorite strategy game to play on the home LAN. We still play it from time to time. I highly recommend it (and, it goes on sale for under $1 from time to time).

Some helpful information: It is turned based; however, the turns can be timed if you want (60, 30, or 15 seconds). The game does not work across the internet without a third party tool (look for the Moonbase Commander steam group to find that tool called -- it's called Moonbase Console, and it can procedurally create random maps as well). It includes a built in map editor. Also, the game has a very easy learning curve... there are not that many units, so it is a good intro strategy game for when friends come over. However, multiplayer is limited to 4 players (but, bots can fill in, if you have less).. I would highly recommend this game. While I say this with much nostalgia, it's features keep me coming back. Also it only costs a few dollars and is often on sale. Each faction is perfectly balanced but everything else about them is unique: the UI, all of the units, and the interesting announcers. Getting used to the lauching mechanic my be tedious but I think it adds another element of skill. Would recomend.. The best game that only I have played. My hours on Steam don't do it justice - I've owned the game in physical form since the early 2000's and I've put hundreds of hours into it.

It's got great music, it's graphically pleasing, and most importantly, it's fun to play. It's got that "easy to learn but tough to master" thing going for it, since with the golf-like controls and obstacles like water, wind and elevation, even an experienced player like myself can mess up sometimes. This can be an issue even against NPCs, as the campaign gets hard as nails towards the end. The AI isn't perfect, but it mostly competent, and can definitely provide a challenge if you choose the tougher bots.

Of course, it's also super fun to play with friends, though you'll need to set it up through Hamachi or something if you don't have someone to sit next to. There are some third party tools out there too, like Moonbase Console.

The map editor is pretty great as well, and you can play maps you make against AI or humans.

One thing to note: the game's resolution is pretty small and it will want to be in fullscreen, but if you prefer, you can set it to windowed mode by pressing Shift+F5. No borderless option, but maybe that's possible with some third party app. Alt+Tab does not play well with this game, so change to windowed mode before doing so.

RIP Humongous Entertainment, and thank you so much for this game.. Grab this game when is on sale, its a lot of fun!

I remember the days when i had MBC on my first pc.... It brings back a lot of memories.
Ok about the game : This is game is realy old but its good. The game mechanics are simple. You have one main base and you expand from there . If your main base is destroyed you are dead. Its the same for your opponents.

There are 2 ways to win in this game :

First is to try kill the enemy main base ASAP on turn 4\/6 and get +7 enegy and go for the next enemy or expand your economy and then kill the rest.

Second is to be good at aiming and hit the energy pool on first turn and after that you can go for the next energy pool or try fighting.

Important !!! Disable fog of war , the wind and play on flat maps till you get use to the game machanics. When you feal ready turn them on again so you can realy enjoy the game.

Also dont be discourage when you are playing challenge mode. This game dont give gold medals easy.. Got the demo version from a gamers magazine as a kid, spent hundreds of hours with it. And I'd still give it a whirl any time, and not only because of the nostalgia factor. The gameplay is unique, it's rare to see a strategy game where you also need to be precise. We need more games that combine genres like this.

NOTE FOR LINUX USERS:

The game can be run with Steam Play \/ Proton under Linux with a little hacking.

If the game is asking for the CD, find hegames.ini in the Windows directory of wine. For me that was "~\/.steam\/steam\/steamapps\/compatdata\/254880\/pfx\/drive_c\/windows\/hegames.ini". Add the following lines under the [moonbase] section:

ShowLicenseAgain=0
SetupHasBeenRun=1
GameResourcePath=.\\
HE3File=.\\Moonbase.he3

After this the game starts. For me, the next problem was the mouse pointer being wrongly detected. So I ran:

WINEPREFIX=~\/.steam\/steam\/steamapps\/compatdata\/254880\/pfx winecfg

If it hangs while updating your wine prefix, just kill it and run it again. Then check the option to emulate a virtual desktop under the graphics tab.

It's far from perfect, but way better than infecting your machine with Microsoft IMHO ;). Casual game for the not so casual gamer.

This game is awesome and absolutely infuriating.
Great , simple, strategy game that makes you shoot your base from key-buildings .. you will miss often ...

Best played vs friends, preferably with voice-chat turned on :). Man, I remember this game... Back when I was in middle\/high school, picked this up at a Big Lots' bargain bin sale. Thing looked old, but I figured "why the hell not?".

It's a fun little game with an interesting feature: You fight with your buildings, not soldiers.

You become more powerful by expanding your base, setting Energy Collectors to boost the amount of energy you have to spend each turn, which allows you to perform more actions, such as launching more buildings and attacks.

The base is expanded by launching structures from a "Hub", which is the primary building for attacking and expanding the base. The hub can launch other hubs for further expansion, or set defensive buildings like forcefield generators and anti-air missile bases. And, of course, they can launch energy collectors for collecting energy. The Hub can also launch attacks against other buildings by launching a variety of ranged attacks, such as regular bombs, scatterbombs, missiles, and even a virus! The Hub can also launch a special "offensive" building which can only launch attacks, but at a far greater distance than the regular Hub.

This game also has a unique feature where all the bases are connected to each other by Power Cords. The power cord shows not only which bases are connected, but which hubs are supplying them power (aka which hubs they were launched from). If you destroy a hub that is supplying power to other buildings, those other buildings are also destroyed.

All in all, this game is fun. My favorite attack is the Energy Spike. You can hit cords and attack the two buildings on both ends of it!. I used to play this game as a kid. I loved it then and still do today. It's great to see it released on Steam. already bought it for myself and for several friends as well. Runs on anything. great game for lan parties, In my past I've also spent countless hours in single player. Never gets old. Highly recomend. A+++ rating. A must have. Honestly cannot say enough about how awesome this game is!
