Military Madness announced for PlayStation Network

If you grew up playing video games in the 1980s or your parents did, there is a strong chance that you may have heard of Military Madness. For those who haven’t, the game is a classic turn-based strategy affair published by Hudson Entertainment and has this week announced to be making a comeback on Sony’s PlayStation Network service.

“Since its original release on TurboGrafx-16 in 1989, Military Madness has stood the test of time as one of the longest-lived turn-based strategy games in history,” said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment.

“The new Military Madness will give fans of the original a modern version of this classic strategy game, while gamers new to the series will get to enjoy being armchair generals for the first time.”

This latest installment will implement online co-op, a complete visual overhaul, a regiment of new units and a platoon of other fresh ideas and features. Currently, Military Madness is scheduled for a summer release and has been given a T rating by the ESRB.
