Or Herzog Zwei or perhaps earlier games (Ancient Art of War anyone?).

(sadly I guess this discussion somehow has to come up every time someone mentions the word RTS.)

Yes. http://carbongames.com/airmech/help.html Interesting blog where they write about their experience in porting it to NaCl.

Thanks for this link, I've a huge fan of Herzog Zwei, you're rocking my world with that link :)

It's mostly one of the best unknown game soundtrack I've heard.

I have to say I really enjoyed Herzog Zwei on the Genesis - did anyone ever make a new version of it?

There's Airmech, an alpha version is available for play on Google Chrome. I think the developers intend to make it into a free2play game, like Leagues of Legend.

How about Command HQ and Dan Bunton's games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_HQ. I'm pretty sure Ancient Art of War predates that though. I'm showing my age.

Command HQ was 1990. The Ancient Art of War was way back in 1984!

The Ancient Art of War was an awesome game. I started working on a clone for iOS, but I got lazy. <:)
