Mega Lo Mania also know as Tyrants: Fight Through Time – Genesis US Title and Mega lo Mania – Jikuu Daisenryaku – SNES Japanese Title.

As new planets are born competition for their control between the Gods is fierce. These Gods do battle by playing the ancient game, Mega Lo Mania.

Mega Lo Mania is a strategy game rather like Populous or perhaps The Settlers. It involves resource management and development, then finally – on each level – the conquering of the other civilizations on the island.

First you choose one out of four different characters to represent you, Scarlet (red army), Oberon (yellow army), Caesar (green army), or Madcap (blue army). There are nine different level with an exception on tenth that you'll discover youre self once you reach it. Every level consists of three island that you have to conquer to progress to next level and gain a code. Land is mostly of sand, grass or ice. You start with 100 men and you can use whatever quantity you find necessary on each island. The rest men left will go to another level with another new 100. And what is final to left will go on the last 10th level.

Once you select your island and place for your HQ, you must do some research for better weapons and defences. On the roof of your every building you can put protectors like archers, gunmen, boiling oil men, and later on even laser turrets. Your most helplessly army is the one without weapons, but they will automatically start to build your next headquarters once placed upon certain unpopulater terrain.

If there is more then just one enemy, you can make an alliance until you crush the other one, even three of you can form an alliance against fourth enemy. For what is worth, same level of defence is always stronger from the same level of attacker, and men that are not armed (conscripts) can only kill enemy soldiers, not destroy or attack enemy fort. Later on higher levels, you'll also build mines and other forts as you'll need to dig a certain material for higher level weapons, depending on wether the area you're on is rich with a certain material or not. With each next level, you'll start from a higher age level and be able to progress to one higher level up then the at previous level.

The main thing in Mega Lo Mania as it always is in strategy games is to be the sole survivor and lead your men to victory, experimenting on vicious technologies, equipping your men, making a perfect soldiers out of them, produce shields, weapons, plaines… to dominate the world and crush your opponents. Don't confuze this for scrolling RTS game as it is not. You can do the battling only in a certain quadrant, but don't be long as your men will automatically start building the fort, and it will be at the bottom of age level and you'll need to invent everything for that one again.

Use your men and resources wisely to win. Forge alliances with your enemies to increase your chances of survival.
