Inside Force 21

Force 21 is a near-future military tactical real-time strategy game that originally hit PCs before making the jump to the Game Boy Color. This port landed in North America as a cartridge with support for English, French, and German. Red Storm Entertainment, known for their Tom Clancy - licensed titles, developed the game. It's an official commercial release, not a hack or fan project, designed to bring squad-level RTS action to Nintendo's handheld.

How to play Force 21 online

Getting Started

Force 21 is a real-time strategy game, so you'll be commanding squads of soldiers on a top-down battlefield. Your first task is usually selecting units by moving a cursor over them and confirming with the A button. Once selected, you can issue move orders to waypoints or attack commands by targeting enemy units.

The core loop involves scouting the map, capturing objectives or eliminating hostiles, while managing your troops' health and ammo. Pay attention to terrain - it can provide cover or slow movement. The game uses a simplified interface common to the era, relying on menu-driven commands rather than point-and-click. Take your time reading the on-screen prompts to learn each unit's special abilities.
