Play Armour-Geddon Online

Game Overview

Armour-Geddon is one of those weird, ambitious '90s games that throws a bunch of ideas at the wall—and somehow most of them stick. You start off staring at this grim post-nuke world where the "Sheltered" elite (that's you) are scrambling to stop the irradiated surface dwellers from blasting your fancy bunker with a giant laser. The setup alone hooked me—it's like Mad Max meets Cold War paranoia.

First thing you notice? The weird mix of strategy and action. There's this overhead view where you assign scientists to research better guns (always go for the railgun first) and engineers to build them, but then you jump into this janky-but-charming 3D battlefield. You pilot everything from clunky tanks to wobbly helicopters, and yeah, the controls take some getting used to. The hovercraft handles like a shopping cart on ice, but once you figure it out, skimming over lava lakes to flank enemies feels awesome.

Main goal's simple: find five pieces of an ancient neutron bomb before the outsiders charge their death laser. But between random attacks on your base and hunting down generators to buy time, it never feels like you're just ticking boxes. The atmosphere's thick with this eerie, industrial vibe—rusty metal, flickering radar screens, and this unsettling synth soundtrack that makes every mission feel desperate. If you can push past the dated graphics, there's a surprisingly tense game here. Just don't expect the helicopters to obey physics.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
