W.A.R. was a computer game produced by Martech.
Summary
The BBC Micro version was written by Michael Archer while the Amstrad CPC version was written by John Edginton. The BBC Micro was revolutionary when it was produced because, although it was monochrome, and game play was tightly letter boxed, the graphical detail and smooth hardware scrolling of this vertical shooter had not been seen before.
The Amstrad CPC version supported one of the first commercial mice in the form of the AMX Mouse.
