Metal
Knight
After the completion of "Sport
Pinball" Object Software determined to develop
its own titles with the aim of releasing these
titles itself on the Chinese Mainland market and
licensing the titles for sale worldwide. "Metal
Knight" was the first game Object Software
developed which it owned itself.
"Metal Knight" was a
Command & Conquer style real time strategy
game with robots. Its principal feature was that
the robots could be built by the players themselves
and when the game was first released in the spring
of 1998 this was a unique feature. "Metal
Knight" was an instant success on the Chinese
Mainland market. It was warmly received by game
magazines and became the only China developed
game to rank for several months in the Top 5 of
the Top Ten of PopSoft, the leading PC gaming
magazine in Mainland China.
Later in 1998 "Metal Knight"
was licensed for sale in Taiwan and Hong Kong
and was ranked by "Game World" in Taiwan
as a 4 star game. In 1999, Metal Knight was released
on the U.S. market by Global Village, Inc.
