WWIII: The Video Game

WWIII: The Video Game is a video game based on, as the title implies, the 2027 film WWIII.

Gameplay
WWIII: The Video Game follows the plot of WWIII, although allowances are made to adapt the story to suit an action game. For example, instead of basically buying C and R from the Gypsies, Bill battles his way to the top of the Shop Tank while leaping from a series of moving conveyor belts. Short cut scenes between levels tell an abbreviated version of the movie's story. Late stages allow the player to control rogue Anthony Took and Chuks. The game also features many vehiclebased levels in which the player takes control of a Torpedo Biplane or a car.

All of the stages consist of Shoot 'em Up and platforming gameplay, with many different upgrades available to the standard gun. Bill Gunther can also wield a Psychokinetic Scimitar after acquiring it from Benjamin Shish. The end of the game has players reenacting Bill's bombing run through a hole in the Orbitron to demolish it, with Douglas Artur confronting the player in his fighter plane.

Trivia

 * Originally, the game design was planned to give the characters a black outline around their bodies. However, this idea was abandoned, as it made the characters look like cartoons.
 * The Black King R uses with while playing chess aboard the Took RV in the movie is a boss in the game.
 * There was a midden level that was deleted from the game due to lack of time to finish it. An image of what was completed of it was published in an issue of Nintendo Power around the time of the game's release.
 * A PC port was in the works since 2029. The port was completed, and was well into the play testing phase, but in 2020 1001 Spears halted the development and canceled the release to make The WWIII 2 Video Game. An unfinished version of this port was leaked onto the internet, but the actual port will not be released into the public domain.
