Little did the Lunar Corporation know the impact they made by the time their space research facility's goals after 2002 would allow human space travel, space exploration monopoly and even the exploitation of space itself! NASA's technology was then absorbed by them during the 2012 to 2014 crisis. Orbital City 1 attracted a company employee flight for safety away from Earth's economic chaos. After failed attempts of a second city in 2036 and the company's first permanent base on the moon in 2037, all of the residents of Orbital City 1 were evacuated to the moon called Luna 1 when the Great War broke out on Earth. As a result, the Lunar Corporation severed ties with its mother planet to follow an independent development path, with a second city finally completed years later (Luna 2).
Earth laid in ruins after several more years of war which led to anarchy. America's 12 previous states were later reorganized into the United Civilized States (UCS). Eastern Europe and Asia's representatives -- the Kahn Clan -- built a new country called the Eurasian Dynasty (ED). As respective territorial neighbors, no other power on Earth could match them. However, in the year 2147, it was inevitable that war was the only choice they had in order to feed the power-hungry rulers of each empire, and thus the ED and UCS staged an act of war against each other. The solar orbit was then adversely affected as Lunar Corporation's scientists correctly interpreted that the future disaster by 2150 would lead to the further shrinking distance between the Sun and the Earth by about 17 percent.
No one cooperated for a mass migration to Mars, which was the only hope for the survival of mankind. And thus, without resources available to pour into the project due to the war forcing all scientific activity toward weaponry, the Lunar Corporation had to join the war in order to fight over the remaining resources left on Earth.
Previously, real-time strategy (RTS) had been in its infancy within the 3D realm, but with the all-terrain and subterranean Earth 2150 from SSI, North America gets to have a taste of what Germany already enjoyed: real-time lighting, true 3D terrain deformation, realistic fog-of-war, and particle effects. In addition, some other goodies include: over 45 CG cut-scenes; a non-linear mission system (with 75 missions in all); real-time weather and day/night influences on strategy and tactics; over eight-player participation with the multiplayer feature, using TCP/IP, IPX or a modem; a unique 3D Map Editor; a simultaneous multiple-camera interface (three window views with zooming and rotating capability); and last but not least, customizable units from various chassis, weapon systems and upgrades.
The Troop Management System and Platoon Base Control allow you to create your own troop formations, change squads and patrol areas, as well as enlist the aid of computer generals in perfecting your campaign. You have a choice of three completely different sides, meaning three separate strategies, interface looks, and music soundtracks -- essentially three games in one!
From scaling mountains and digging out bulwarks to creating tunnel systems and detonating entire regions, Earth 2150 comes at you with story, eye candy, and a new outlook on the future of the strategy genre. Can you save Earth from destruction? Can you save mankind from itself? Which side will you be on, the ED, UCS, or Lunar Corporation? War is ugly -- but unavoidable!

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
