Warfare Incorporated is a real-time strategy game for PalmOS and Pocket PC PDAs and iPhone and iPod Touch, developed by Spiffcode and distributed by Handmark in 2003. It has been described as being the equivalent to Command & Conquer or StarCraft, but it in reality it combines elements of both. It was one of the first applications for PDA to feature Bluetooth and Wi-Fi multiplayer support.
It is set in a world where large corporations use sheer force to get what they want, in this case two large corporations (ACME and OMNI) are fighting over planet Icarus, which holds a great wealth in "galaxite," a rare and valuable mineral which can be used for teleportation. You play Andy Whitmore, a mining specialist. Gordon Fox, the security specialist, has gone missing and you are put in charge of creating mining bases and finding him. Throughout the campaign, ACME discovers mysterious alien technologies, such as a machine that can duplicate objects, as well as a new enemy.
