After years of war, Earth lies in ruins. Now, it is plummeting into the Sun. Your only chance for survival is to fight your way onto a shuttle to Mars. In a deteriorating landscape with hostile weather conditions, you’ll need all your cunning and intelligence to defeat your enemies. The first all-terrain, totally immersive, real-time strategy game, Earth 2150 has revolutionized RTS gameplay.

After taking Germany by storm, Earth 2150 is ready to change RTS forever. More than just eye candy, its revolutionary 3D engine takes the genre in a new direction. Meteor showers rain down from above. Climate changes affect how weapons and vehicles function. Fog rolls in early during the morning obstructing view range. Weapons recoil after firing. And full warfare occurs beneath the surface of the earth.

Power Play (11/99) called it the "Best Strategy Game of the Year." IGN.com said "Uses the 3D environment to its fullest strategic value." PC Action (11/99) acclaimed that it "sets a new genre standard for realtime strategy."
