Entire campaigns can take to the seas, as amphibious tanks actually drive beneath the waves and aircraft deploy directly from carriers to attack enemies bases across the oceans. Dozens on naval units - submarines, battleships and destroyers - give Total Annihilation a whole new edge. The battle grinds on the ground, lofts through the stratosphere, and even takes to water. With each vehicle fully rendered in 3D in a real-time environment, fighter aircraft can barrel-roll through turns, while belly cannon rotate to track targets.

Aircraft wings fold and unfold on takeoff and landing. Cannons recoil and vehicles shake after each hit.

Each Total Annihilation unit is constructed of hundreds of individually articulating parts. The true 3D environment allows players to drive heavily armed tanks up mountains, into valleys and even underwater. What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine has escalated into a war that has decimated a million worlds. Players can lob artillery shells over hillsides, while long-range 'Big Bertha' cannons bombard the enemy from halfway across the world. Stellar support 24/7 and full refunds up to 30 days. With true 3D weapon trajectories, holding 'high ground' isn't just a saying, it's survival. Mega-maps as large as 128Mb, thousands of screens wide, promise hours - even days - of battle. Large, diverse maps transport players across radically different landscapes of ice, lava, forest and more. Total Annihilation's technological and graphic advancements, including true 3D terrain and real-time 3D rendered units and buildings, make it the most challenging and visually stunning real-time combat game around. Total Annihilation is a real-time strategy video game created by Cavedog Entertainment, a sub-division of Humongous Entertainment, and released in 1997 by GT Interactive for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS.
