Title: Earth 2160
Post by: bob48 on December 05, 2012, 10:52:53 AM
Now this is a nice little instant deal from Steam; Earth 2160 for the princely sum of.......£0.74.

I just couldn't resist it.

It's a great RTS game too!
A steal for that price. Basically for free.

One advice though; play skirmish and skip the campaign. :)
The storytelling is gutwrenchingly bad. :D

^Thanks for the tip. I've only had a very quick look at it so far. I played Earth 2150 to death back in the day.

i was practically bullied in to buying it!

Bob might as well have walked into my house and stolen the 74p right off me

Aw c'mon mate - I saw you on stream and knew you would never forgive me if I didn't tip you off. Anyways, you'd been moaning about wanting something to play - you'll thank me later, I just know it.

Oi, you can play MP as well i think :-))

Off to have a better look now.

Is this an attempt at Dadaism?

I really enjoyed Earth 2150, especially the Moon Project expansion (lovely atmosphere (no pun intended)).  I have Earth 2160 but I haven't really tried it yet.  Might have to fire it up!

Sounds like Flanderism to me...

Totally agree Huw, it was a great game - if this is of the same calibre, I'll be well chuffed. There again, for 74p you can't really go wrong.

Now I think of it, Earth 2160 is the first game I ever bought from GoG.  That was years ago!  Why the hell have I never played it?

Nope, its a Rimmerism. From the cult TV show Red Dwarf :-)
