Product Specs

Description

Known as Mega Lo Mania outside of the U.S., Tyrants: Fight Through Time is a world-building strategy game. Levels take place through progressive periods of history on a fictional (though familiar) planet. Players choose to lead one of four factions in their battle through the eras. Often compared to Populous, much of the gameplay in Tyrants is devoted to resource management and technological development, but players face rivals on each map who must be conquered. Graphics are soft and almost cartoon-like, but not so much as to belie the bellicose aspects of the game. The Tyrants cartridge also features an Easter Egg that allows Genesis gamers to play a version of the arcade game Sinistar by entering a special code at the password screen.
