★★★ ULLA! Play 12 Minigames based on Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds! ★★★
❝ The chances of anything coming from Mars are a Million to One, he said... ❞
★ All 12 Episodes now available! ★
The original HG Wells story was first published as an episodic adventure for Pearsons magazine in 1897, so in homage we've created a 12-part episodic Minigame Adventure of The War of The Worlds. Each minigame is based on one of the scenes in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version, and features the music, sounds, and dialogue from the award-winning musical.
❝ At Midnight, on the 12th of August, a large mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped toward Earth... ❞
Advance the story as you complete each minigame. Start with the Prequel puzzle adventure quest, where you learn how the Martians surveyed Earth. Work your way through different game styles with each Episode, from puzzle to action to arcade games.
Survive the streets of London under attack! Pilot the Thunder Child to keep the Martian Fighting Machine's at bay while Carrie escapes! Hide from the Martians with the Parson@ Ply cards with the Artilleryman! And ultimately, defeat the Martians.
Featuring the music and sounds of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds, www.thewaroftheworlds.com.
Your purchase gets you all 12 minigame episodes, with music from JEFF WAYNE, narration from RICHARD BURTON, featuring JUSTIN HAYWARD of the MOODY BLUES, and 20+ minutes of CGI VIDEO!

OMG YES!!!
I just happened to think one night to look for a game with this theme and I found this.
I grew up listening to this since I was 10. It was my fathers favorite album and I love it too! Please do more with this, I can't wait,
Awesome games
The games in this app are highly addictive and fun and challenging. And the music is, of course, awesome. I wish they had thrown in some more music and video segments, but this app is definitely worth the price. Cool game!
Awesome
Great art and music along with fun gameplay. War of the Worlds was the first scifi book I ever read and this game lives up to my fond memories of that classic book. This game is definitely worth your time.
