Gravity Wars is a video game for the Amiga personal computer system by Ed Bartz.[1] It was developed in 1986 or 1987. It is a turn-based artillery game, which is a subgenre of strategy game.
The game consists of two spaceships firing projectiles at each other using an angle and velocity. Randomly scattered planets attracting the projectiles make shots tricky. With its simplicity and aesthetic beauty it inspired re-makes with the same name. A 1992 edition was written for the Macintosh by Rhys Hollow to work as a rulebook on GameMaster gaming platform. There are MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux ports available on the Internet.
