Description

Future Wars is a graphic adventure game, the first to use Delphine's proprietary Cinematique point-and-click interface. A right click brings up the verb menu. After choosing one of the six commands, you point the mouse over the desired target and execute with a left click. Small objects are depicted by enlarged drawings - once you found them. Pixel hunting is a very frequent aspect of Future Wars. Lazy players are punished with puzzle dead-ends.

What an unlikely hero! You are a window cleaner. A common, little window cleaner. Yet you discover, more due to your notorious curiosity than by mistake, a time machine in your chiefs back office. Strange? Absolutely. Your adventure in the past and the future is about to begin. The quest? Four words: Evil aliens. Beautiful girl.

Trivia

The requirements sticker for Future Wars also mentions "Color Monitor Required". This has nothing to do with the game, but is rather a requirement of the copy-protection, which refers you to a color-coded picture on the back of the manual and asks you which color it is. This was an effective way of foiling pirates who photocopied the manual, as photocopies don't contain color.
