The games would be based mostly on battles, including the War of Independence, the Gallipoli battle and Turkey’s military intervention in Cyprus. The armed forces wanted to boost young children’s love and respect for Turkey through such strategy games. The TSK allocated a budget of TL 1.4 million for the preparation of the games.
All games would be based on a main character, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Republic of Turkey. The game on the Independence War, for example, would start with the arrival of Atatürk in the northern province of Samsun, where he started the resistance of Turkish forces against occupying powers. The game would be divided up into 20 levels, and each level would focus on a part of the war. The game would finish with the completion of the war and the occupying powers leaving Turkey.
The strategy games would also try to condition young children against the threat of reactionaryism. Prominent historians, such as İlber Ortaylı, Yılmaz Öztuna and Ergun Aybars, would be consulted for the game.
The revenue earned through the marketing of the games would be donated to the Mehmetçik Foundation and the Association of Social Solidarity for Families of Martyrs and Victims of Terror.
