+Battalion was a game written in 1994 on a Silicon Graphics Indy in GL for
+the IndiZone contest. This version also ran in the CAVE(tm) as a virtual
+reality game at the EVE 4 art show in May 1995. The GL version won 'best
+indy software' and is available on the Indizone3 CDROM. It was then
+converted to OpenGL (with several enhancements) and modified in late 1996
+to work with the Mesa graphics library. In 1997 it won the Hot Mix 17 game
+contest from SGI, and was availableon the Hot Mix 17 CDROM.
+
+Here is the description of battalion from the Silicon Graphics homepage
+in Japan.
+
+ Battalion wa 'kaiju ga bakuhatsu, hakai' wo kuri-kaesu game desu.
+ Battalion is a game where 'A monster blows up, destroys' repeats.
+... pretty much says it all ...
