Titan Wars (released as Solar Eclipse in North America) is a video game released for the Sega Saturn, developed and published by Crystal Dynamics[1] (before the buyout by Eidos Interactive). Its full motion video sequences star Claudia Christian.

Solar Eclipse was developed under the title "Titan", but the USA marketing team decided it would sell better if published as a sequel to the 1993 3DO/PlayStation game Total Eclipse, especially as the two featured the same gameplay and graphical style.

The game was also released for the Sony Playstation in Europe only, again under the title Titan Wars.[2] The Playstation version is a straight port of the Saturn version.

Easter egg levels are possible after every regular level of the game. The easter egg levels are played similar to the regular levels, however they have ridiculous settings. Notable levels include: shooting the programming team's flying heads, and shooting cows standing on green hills (from another Crystal Dynamics game - The Horde).
