Story:Gender Wars is a real-time tactics action game for DOS developed by The 8th Day and published by GT Interactive Software and Sales Curve in 1996. After eons of fighting between the genders, men and women have broken into separate factions, each using genetic engineering to create new followers, and waging terrible war upon each other. Upon selecting the side you wish to play (depicted as either clueless blondes who can't drive, or beer-swigging lazy oafs), you select a team of 4 for your missions, arm them up with guns and other assorted weaponry, and wreak havoc on the 'enemy' in this isometric Syndicate-like game. Progress through the levels to the final conflict, collecting tanks and other assorted 'powerups' along the way, and watching the humourous cutscenes as you go.Show more

I remember playing it as a kid, alongside with some classics of that era :) that is before 2000 It was really fun and hilarous, my older brothers and sisters laughed a lot while playing it. And it had of course a solid gameplay

A game that is way more hilarious and fun than it should be. Definitely tongue in cheek humor with some mindless top-down shooting and exploration. The soundtrack is decent and some great 3/4 pixel art! GENDER WARS!

Entertaining, satirical knockoff of the Syndicate franchise, and a decent, if deranged comedic counterpoint to Jamie Delano and John Higgins' under-read battle of the sexes comic World Without End.
