The year is 2140. After numerous wars and several environmental disasters, only two world powers remain; the United Civilized States (UCS) covering the American continent, Western Europe and North Africa, and the Eurasian Dynasty (ED) covering the coherent landmasses of Eastern Europe and Asia.
The damage caused by the long wars led both world powers to evacuate the population to recently built underground cities. Australia and most parts of Africa were sacrificed during the long wars, which lasted several decades. Highly toxic biological and chemical weapons were developed on these continents, leaving them so badly contaminated, that no human life can survive there. Most of the world's population forgot that this land ever existed.
Conflicts between UCS and the ED escalated and became the final world war. This war will decide who will get the last of the available natural resources and ultimately rule the world.
Multiplayer notice: Although the game contains "net" and "serial" buttons, actual multiplayer functionality was never implemented by the game developers.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
It was a free game me and my joining for gog.com very long time ago.
Get a.i enchanced dos version installator from download tab and play only that way, I dont' know why you are complaing about multiplayer. It is said that developer never finished network code,
Great game but old mechanics can discourage players. Played it first time in about 1999/2000...
Interface is old and unit management is difficult when the game came in there was games with better interface. Get it on 75% like many times it game was or get Earth 2150 or 2160 instead. They got better interfaces and unit management is easier, like in modern games, not so clumsy.
I really cannot recommend this game and I don't get all the good reviews and the overall four-star rating. Ok, I can see how this may have been a passable RTS in '97, but this is 2018 and there are hundreds of better games in this genre available you could be playing instead. I'm just glad I got it for free.
- As many have mentioned, in the windows version the AI is broken and will probably never get fixed, just as the "HD" version on Steam.
- The included DOS version, while with working AI, runs poorly and in a very low resolution
- The graphics may have been ok for the time and there are some nice effects, but as I said, this is 2018 and literally every game of the last 15-20 years looks better. Maps are bland and either completely brown or green, I didn't play long enough to see if there are more colors. Ugly rendered cutscenes.
- The Campaigns are boring and repetitive, nothing interesting happening here, at all. Story almost non-existent.
- No real strategy involved, as far as I could tell. Just build masses of strong units and steamroll the enemy before he does the same.
- Construction is frustrating and unintuitive. You construct vehicles in the main building, similar to the MCV in C&C, but here for every type of building, which then crawl to where you want the building to be and you only whether there is enough space there when it has arrived.
- The music, while it may be the best part of the game, doesn't really fit the theme and gets repetitive and annoying after some time.
All in all, this is really not worth anyone's time in 2018. When this was originally released, C&C: Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert had already been out for some time, soon after it came Age of Empires, and a year later we got StarCraft. I also hear Total Annihilation is quite good, although I have yet to play it. So there had not really been a reason to play this 20 years ago, and there certainly is none, today.
Imho Earth 2140 is one of the greatest RTS of all time. I strated on the DOS version in 1999 and in that time i knew this game would be my favourite for a life time. The game was well made, not too short (it may have been longer though). Difficulty was adequate. It forced me to think twice before acting. When I got my ass kicked in a mission I just had to start it over not getting kicked, but to kick the AI :) I am giving 5 stars to the old DOS version. The new one (as being sold here) is worth 1 star for missing the AI difficulty.
The solo content of the game is all fine and i love it to play it again after all this years, but we tried to do kind of retro lan party and in this situation a missing multiplayer is a degration of the star rating.
