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

However, if pilots would need to do daily what they are capable of doing, nobody would dare to fly anymore."

^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.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

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!

Is this an attempt at Dadaism?

Sounds like Flanderism to me...

Tch.  Philistines.  He's clearly quoting Rimmer from Red Dwarf.

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 :-)
