Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)
An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer
So it's a 0-2 player game!
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.

Three we have, two missing, one incomplete and never released.
But who was Glacier Edge?
and the lead developer on Enemy Nations (1996) by Windward Studios.
He was the AI programmer for NHRA Drag Racing 2 (2000)
Sadly, he passed away on April 15, 2004, due to an aneurysm.
It turns out the engine for War in Heaven is the same as Rebel Moon Revolution, too.

The remix culture of the early 2000s left an indelible impression on me, an enduring delight in the power of whimsy, juxtaposition, virtuosity and ingenuity - and the ability of strangers all over the world to collaborate without any explicit coordination.
