''[[Original War]]'' is a strategy game that was released in 2001 as a budget title. It is noted for including [[RPG Elements]], a resource system built around scarcity and a [[Nintendo Hard|very high difficulty]]. Being an obscure game overall, it has achieved cult status since its release. The story is loosely based on the 1981 novel [[The Last Day Of Creation]] by German author [[Wolfgang Jeschke]].
The titular war revolves around a rare mineral called [[Unobtainium|Siberite]]. Originally found in Siberia, it is discovered by US agents along with an alien artifact, EON. The artifact and a small amount of Siberite is smuggled out of Russia, and experiments eventually determine that Siberite is both a catalyst for cold fusion and fuel for EON - which is revealed to be a [[Time Machine]]. With no safe way to acquire the priceless Siberite from the Russians, another approach is decided upon: to send a task force back in time 2 million years on a one-way mission to transport the Siberite over the then-intact land bridge between Alaska and Siberia. Upon arriving, however, the task force members are scattered in both time and space, and much to their surprise find themselves beset by hostile Russians.
