ah, this was really an awesome game... i'm also reminded of other older scifi games that i enjoyed, like archimedean dynasty, crusader, etc.
but in the past 10 years or so, i don't think i've played a game like that. except mass effect. but IMO they screwed up the sequel to that so badly...
The really sad thing about this game is that it was overshadowed by the release of Quake and the 3-d Voodoo card craze, plus it was sort of marketed as a "big robot" game, and those had just gone out of fashion. However, what it really was was the first "squad based" shooter, with "power suits" (sort of like the nano suit in Crysis). It's probably the game that broke Looking Glass, since they put a lot into it and didn't get the sales. Damn ID (great though they are too)!
hey, crazy question but I'm dying to know the answer: Does anyone here know how many extra characters you can get after some original members either die or leave? I thought I'd just get DeWitt, MacAlpine, and Steadman, but I ended up losing Steadman after one mission to end up with George Micklesford. I was just wondering if there was a way to see who else might've joined the team.
Without it, we would have a different gaming market. Oblivion hasn't created anything, it has done what most modern games have done - taken away instead.
Two demos came out for this game, one with one mission the other with two or three (can't remember!) - but the main thing was - they were NOT missions from the game, but brand new one's!!! Those were the days!
I remember the one level where you had to ambush a convoy. I laid det on the road and autoturrets, they ran through the turrets and I order my guy to blow the sapper charges. Big BOOM!
WOW! I remember this game!!! Was freakin the best. I remember they were supposed to come out with a multiplayer pac..but never did. I wish I could find this to work on my computer!

This game was pretty fucking amazing and never received the attention it deserved. 1995-1996 were the years when computer games started to suck.

Awesome. Kind of looks like a paleolithic version of the Oblivion engine. :)

'Cause it has hills and trees? I don't understand how one makes such a connection.
