Warpath ’97 (Windows 95/98, Shareware) is a real-time strategy game where up to four players compete to convince planets to follow their chosen “Path.” The universe evolves continuously as players mine resources, colonize worlds, invest in development, and launch attacks against rivals. In single-player mode, opposing factions are controlled by AI routines, while multiplayer supports human competition via modem or IPX network. The game features WAV and FM sound, inter-player radio communication, and built-in online help. With its unique planetary influence mechanics and real-time progression, Warpath ’97 stands out among late-1990s strategy titles—and it can be played online right here.
