Are you worthy?  Do you have the GUTS to pit your logic against
others ?!?  If so read on...!

A.I. Wars (The Insect Mind) allows you to develop the Artificial
Intelligence (A.I.) of a insect like mechanized unit.  Once you
have developed your A.I. to the point that you think it can hold
it's own in battle you can then plop it into a battle simulation
and see if it can survive!  It's your unit against up to 500
others!  A battle simulation supports 5 or 10 units and a
tournament supports 500!  

A.I. Wars uses an easy to learn but hard to master A.I. command
language that allows you to script out every possible decision
for your unit.  The A.I. files that you create can be password
protected and saved as encrypted ASCII text files.  This makes
it easy to trade your A.I. files with other players via E-Mail,
WWW, FTP, BBS etc...  

This game forces your logic skills to the limit and it's a neat
way to develop programming skills even for people who've never 
programmed before!

A.I. Wars comes with several battle arena's and includes a map
editor for limitless battle possibilities!  I hope your unit is
smart enough to navigate it's way around almost any possibility!

The A.I. Units come fully loaded with scanners, shields,
sensors, energy cells, friend or foe beacons, mines, fuel, ammo,
missiles and even a self distruct mechanism for those really
sticky situations!

We encourage tournaments using A.I. Wars and have a special page
setup to allow users to post their A.I. files.  E-Mail your
completed A.I. files to me at  John.Reder@DaytonOH.ncr.com and I
will post them on this page so other A.I. Warriors can test
their skills against them.  You are free to dedicate your own
web pages to this program if you wish.  If you do please lets us
know the URL so we can add a link to your page from our Official
A.I. Wars page. Please feel free to send any comments or
concerns to this e-mail address also.

Remember: "Smart bugs never die!"

Enjoy!
