A downloadable game for Windows

Love old school DOS boomer shooters like Doom or  Wolfenstein 3D but feel that they just have one too many dimensions? Ever wonder what they would have been like if they had came out ten years earlier on the Atari 2600? Well, do I have a game for you- Mars Wars!!

Space “Nasties” have built a secret dungeon on Mars for their wacky parties and have accidentally opened a portal to the “heck” dimension, releasing heck spawn that want nothing more than to wreak havoc and destroy earth! The United States of Earth have sent their bravest and shirtless Space Marine, Johny Kilnotzki, to infiltrate the Space Nasties Martian Dungeon, put an end to their wacky parties, and close the portal to heck before it’s too late!

Blow away Space Nasties and Heck-Spawn with over 10 different weapons and power-ups!

  • Pistol
  • Chainsaw 
  • Snowball Luncher 
  • Boomerang 
  • Land mines
  • Rocket Luncher
  • Shotgun 
  • Machine Gun 
  •  Plasma Pistol 
  • Space Cats with laser beams attached to their heads

Blast your way through five different dungeons! Clear each section of the dungeon of all enemies to move to the next section, but remember to move fast! If you take too long time runs out! Use your keyboard or your favorite xbox controller. Remember Johny isn’t the most coordinated marine in the Space Corp, and going shirtless means he doesn’t have too many pockets. You can only carry one weapon at a time, so choose wisely!

With three difficulties it doesn’t matter if your a wimp or a sadist- we got you covered! Don’t want to see Nazi guts sprayed all over the wall? Well wimp, you can turn the gore off in the options. Want to blow heck-spawns brains all over the place? Of course you do, you little Sicko! Go into the options and turn on gore mode! Don’t worry we wont tell your mom.
