Gate 88 is a multiplayer action real-time strategy (RTS) game. The player pilots a ship in 2D, as in Asteroids, while building structures such as turrets, factories, and research stations in an effort to destroy other's bases while protecting their own.
It also offers multiplayer capacity over LAN and the Internet via public servers. The user interface allows players to pilot their ship while performing strategic operations. The game is released as freeware by Queasy Games and is available for Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
PC Gamer UK reviewed Gate 88 in 2005[1], claiming that "Gate 88 is to Asteroids what the Taj Mahal is to Lego".
