Nectaris is a turn-based strategy game for the TurboGrafx-16, known in North America as Military Madness. Armies fight across hexagonal maps on the Moon using infantry, tanks, aircraft, and other military units. The challenge is coordinating those forces so that terrain and nearby allies work in your favor.

Gameplay

Each turn lets you move units and choose attacks before handing control to the opposing army. Every unit type has its own strengths, movement limits, and suitable targets, making the whole formation more important than any single vehicle. Terrain affects mobility and protection, so the safest route and the shortest route can be different. Nearby friendly units can provide support, while surrounding an enemy weakens its position. These rules make placement important before the actual attack begins. Factories provide valuable opportunities to recover damaged forces and claim available units. Infantry also has a crucial role in taking facilities, so protecting it can be just as important as preserving heavy armor. Combat plays out in a separate battle display, then returns you to the map to assess the result. Victory comes from destroying the opposing force or capturing its base. Each scenario starts with a defined situation that rewards a coordinated plan.
