Future Wars, is the first game to use Delphine Software's cinematic evo1 engine. In this game, a window washer finds himself caught in the middle of a war between two alien races. He has to travel through time in order to keep the aliens from destroying each other, and he also must save a kidnapped princess in the process.

There exists game OST supplied on cover CD of french magazine Generation 4. It consists only of Red Book audio.

Also there was CD-ROM release of this game in US. Some unconfirmed info on it could be found here. Excerpts from that thread:

     I actually bought that game ($11.99 at Egghead Software).  However,
     the last thing you need is that game on CD-ROM.  The game (plot, etc.) is
     not bad, but it only takes about 1.4-1.5Meg of CD-ROM space, and
     graphics, well, are not what you would expect from CD-ROM game
     (EGA only? I don't think it even supports standard VGA).  The same
     disk also includes demo (playable) of "Lexigraph" (?) - sorta like
     Wheel Of Fortune from the future.  Overall, pretty bad, but probably
     worth 12 bucks.
