Mayday is a strategic PC CD-ROM game set in the future, you take charge of
your own army and direct their actions to conquer territory after territory
until you dominate the world.

You choose to fight for one of three large confederations, United Continent
Of America, Asian Federation or the Southern Block. You then strategically
battle, developing and manufacturing new and more powerful weapons to destroy
your enemies.

Mayday offers gameplay features at a more sophisticated level that any other
game of its type.

For example, isometric three-dimensional game surface with real "heights" in
which the landscape decisively influences the type of action. (In basic terms,
if you place a gun on high ground it cannot be shot at from lower ground,
unless it is a land to air weapon).

Each scenario within Mayday starts with you given limited men and vehicles,
from which you have develop your army by capturing factories to create more
weapons.

Within each scenario you will come across ambush, defense and attack formations
from your enemies, it is your choice to stand your ground or retreat.

The initial choice of confederation to join is critical as each path will lead
you into different scenarios and with some of the individual territories taking
hours to complete, Mayday is big. You will be competing in extreme environments
from the ice lands of Antarctica, the deserts of Asia and Australia to the
forests of Europe.

actors.
