    Bah. I'd really hoped to have my African Federation HARDWAR miniatures in a more finished state for today's first game, but such is life. At least none of them are bare, gray plastic.

    Man. My poor African Federation Phalanx got absolutely SMOKED in today's HARDWAR Quickplay game. At one point towards the end I had a single element left on the table to Jeremy's four. Ouch.

    I've been avoiding playing Hardwar because I'm pretty sure if I ever did, I'd immediately want to make a game just like it.

    Ooh. I've read the demo rules for the new HARDWAR miniatures game and they're pretty solid. www.kickstarter.com/projects/mod...

    In the game Hardwar (1998) that I played as a teen there was this thing about people being poisoned by radioactive tampered meat, with the characters in the video clips looking more and more ill as the game progressed.

    New f4mi video mentions Designers Republic and their work on Wipeout,,, got me thinking of the other game they contributed heavily to, the criminally underrated Hardwar

    Hardwar PC Big Box release. Not a game that I ever knew about until maybe a year or so ago where I was made aware that it was a Designers Republic effort on the packaging/box art... And yeah it shows! No idea what the game is like, but the box sure is selling me on it!

    Favourite track of the day #22: "Blown" by LFO, from the album "Sheath". One of the lesser known but massively influential British electronic acts of the 90s, signed to Warp Records. Appeared on the Warp-produced soundtrack to "Hardwar", a classic early PC game #favetracks

    Update: the artstyle just 👌 Oh Wow for an old HardWar fan. Also I suck at the game, took two tries to get past the intro thing 😅

    Been making a new Faewave / Endless Chronicles game on the sly for a while. If you remember PC cult classic X Hardwar you'll be into it. Browser based. Cool soundtrack. Different game modes. Multiple career tracks in core game. It's called... Optimism.

    A game by the name of Hardwar did this fairly well. You have these solar powered hover ships like bladeless helis in Titan's low gravity about the size of a large car and they have these underslung cargo-pods, which are like backpacks that go underneath.

    Modiphius (publisher of Star Trek Adventures, Fallout) Is getting into mech wargames with the Hardwar Miniatures game, which is funding on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mod... Run several mechanized factions in conflict with each other. I was never a big mech nerd but the art's cool.

    Ah, I think I still have a copy of Hardwar tucked away somewhere, very neat game with some very cool iconography and aesthetics. I remember it didn't run very well on my first Win 95 PC and then didn't run at all on XP, so have never experienced it at its best.

    Do you know if it was made for the 1998 game HardWar? It could just be based on it, but it's clearly the same font as on the box!

    Hardwar is Wipeout's evil sibling. Made basically next-door. Same cultural moment. Wipeout, if it were a space trading game. Very, very dark game for the era. FMV cheesy goodness. Same designers as Wipeout (TDR)

  • Osaka, we 🐇 @osaka.zoneBluesky · Oct 16, 2025

    *echoing* Yes. I was there when it dropped. I was of the cultural moment domestically in the UK that inspired it. The Designers Republic is incredible. Look into a game called Hardwar if you like Wipeout.

    Already booked a fair few demos for press & influencers for our new minis game, Hardwar, at UKGE - so if you're interested and want to see the game before it launches on Kickstarter, give me a shout 🔥

    Anyone at #Adepticon check out the #Hardwar #Miniatures game from #Modiphius? I can't find any media online for the game and I'm looking for a mech game.
