Gigalomania is a 2D real time strategy (RTS) Mega-Lo-Mania-like god game. The gameplay consists of researching and developing new technology with which to conquer your enemies, from rocks and sticks to nuclear weapons and spaceships. You can advance through ten different ages, from the stone age to the future. There are 28 different maps to play through.
Available for Windows, OS X, Linux, AROS, Android, Symbian, Maemo, and Meego.
Download
For Windows, download the installer. If the installation is blocked by Windows Defender SmartScreen, select "More Info" then "Run anyway". If you get an error when trying to run, you may need to install the Visual Studio 2017 x86 Redistributable. .
For Linux, you can compile from the source code, released under the GPL v2 or later. Please see the file gigalomania_source.txt (in the source archive) for details on how to compile. There are also packages for Maemo smartphones and Open Pandora.

Requirements
Gigalomania should work on any non-ancient Windows, Linux or OS X PC. Touchscreens/tablets are also supported, this is tested on Windows 10. (See the Mac OS X homepage for details on that version.)
For Android, this requires Android 4.0. A resolution of at least 800x480 is recommended.
For Nokia Symbian smartphones, this requires S60 5th edition (Symbian^1) or later (e.g., Nokia 5800). For Maemo, this has been tested on the Nokia N900. For Meego, this has been tested on the Nokia N950.
If the game fails to run, or has problems, please try the following:
For Windows, make sure you have installed the required libraries/DLLs (see Windows download, above).
On Linux (including the Pandora), try running from the command line (from Terminal window, type gigalomania) to see if that gives any informative error message.
Ensure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.
Please contact me to report any problems.
On PC platforms, Gigalomania also supports using the graphics from Mega Lo Mania (from the Amiga version - should be in hard disk format, e.g., Whdload version) if you have that game. The "data/" folder should be copied into the main gigalomania/ folder, and then rename the "gfx/" folder to something else (e.g., "xgfx/"). It's up to you to legally obtain the game if you want this feature!
Quickstart
Gigalomania has built in tutorials - simply select "Tutorial" from the initial menu, select a player, then pick a tutorial (it's recommended to do them in order!).
Choose which color player you wish to be. Each player has their own special skill:
Red People - Your unarmed men will be stronger.
Yellow People - Other players will be more likely to agree to form an alliance with you.
Green People - You can build new towers more quickly.
Blue People - Your buildings will be stronger against attack, and take longer to destroy.
