Good memory, but not with this version

On the one hand, I am happy that I had an occasion to revisit my old, good game Earth 2140. But on the other hand, it's really broken game. Any AI in this game simply does not exist: - Every mission basically looks same now - build your base and kill all almost static units on the map - Enemy AI does not attack your base (not fixed bug) - In original Earth 2140 you could set an AI to command your units. Here it simply does not work.

A stable port of the crashing DOS RTS

I owned the original boxed version of this game. Getting sounds to work with that took some work and even then it would crash every couple of hours. I am definitely not a fan of that version. I tried it a for a couple of hours and registered no issues with sound, game speed or anything else. People comment that the AI was awful in this one, though I am pretty sure it was awful in the original one too and in RTS games in general (with Dark Reign being a notable exception). I did notice enemies attacking my base and all that jazz, so the complaints seem pretty outdated. The music tracks were the same as in the original release. I would notice as a couple of them are my all time favourites. I did not hear any new tracks, so I guess those ones do not play during the default campaigns. That's okay as they frankly suck. Overall, a very solid RTS with unorthodox units such as rocket + twin laser tank and a plasma bomber. No way a game with so many boring "destroy all enemy units" missions can get 5. Even 4 out of 5 is pushing it. The almost Red Alert level battle AI of at least some ED tank units (the ones with independent turrets) makes the game so much more fun and effortless to play for me, hence the above-average rating.

Первая стратегия с 65536 цветов.

При этом для запуска в те далекие времена требовалось 1 мегабайт видеопамяти. В России аддоны, насколько мне известно не выходили, здорово, что здесь есть все в одной игре. Сама игра очень качественный, как тогда модно было говорить, c&c клон. Но имеет свое очарование и отличительные особенности. Великолепная графика, отличная музыка. Возможность записывать макросы для войск, даже очень сложные. Например можно заранее запланировать, что бы андроиды зашли в бмп, эта машина заехала на плот транспорт, который доставит к острову, где расположен противник, после чего бмп выгрузится, ворвется на базу противника, подъедет к зданию противника, выгрузит десант, который после выгрузки захватит здание. Так вот - все написанное выше можно сделать _заранее_ после чего нажать кнопку "плей" и смотреть как вся эта техника выполняет список заданий.

Old, fine game but also old mechanics.

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.

Seriously, why the high rating?

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.
