Command HQ is a classic real‑time strategy game originally released in 1990 and now available on modern PC platforms like Windows via Steam and GOG. In the game, players take control of a global superpower and wage strategic campaigns across several major conflicts throughout the 20th and future centuries, including World Wars I, II, III, IV, and V. The core gameplay revolves around managing land, sea, and air forces, allocating resources, gathering military intelligence, and outmaneuvering rival powers in fast‑paced, tactical engagements across a world map. It was one of the earliest RTS titles to combine unit production and resource use with a mouse‑driven interface and was celebrated for its strategic depth at the time of release, even earning Wargame of the Year honors from Computer Gaming World.
