Giganews is proud to announce the release of Flame Wars, a Usenet-themed arcade game inspired by classic arcade shooters.

The Flame Wars™ game stars you as a hotshot pilot in the Giganews Fleet, tasked with navigating the worlds of Usenet newsgroups in search of stolen articles protected by intergalactic trolls.

In every group, the trolls fiercely protect their loot, determined to end your session by hurling nonstop flames. Collect groups of articles to receive power-ups, such as kill-file missiles to deal with trolls or the Giganews Accelerator to increase the transfer speed of your download beam. Put your skills to the test as you try to become the fleet's ace pilot!
