Your HERC was immobilized

Earthsiege 2 plays where the evil supercomputer Prometeus turns against his own builder and with combat robots attacking the earth in a future. The special feature of the game is its atmosphere. The whole game looks dark, mysterious, almost frightening. During the inserts only the sounds of their own mechs and the board computer. In Hanger only a gloomy echo.

Before and after each mission certainly a highlight: The briefing with a always very emotional Commander, where you went even bother to angagieren a real actor. In Hanger can also repair the Mechs, install new weapons to the Mechs, put together the team and even give the construction contract for new Mechs. Madness of that time were the Missions with the Razor.

With a quick little Mech and a Flux course you can exploit vulnerabilities of enemy mechs and immobilize many enemy 'Mechs relatively quickly. But at stake do not primarily. The missions always convey a certain uneasiness. You never know whether what is happening unexpected. The missions are also very varied. So you then fights his way through the Alpha, the Delta, the Omega, the Beta and the Lunar sector, where behind every hilltop can lurk a triple alliance of fatal Achilles' Mechs. This captures a thrill to the game, especially in the highest degree of difficulty.

From the atmosphere there can be no game, no Metal Gear, no Bioshock, no Heavy Rain and whatever else touch with Earthsiege. An absolutely recommendable game, even if after all these years there were already better approaches for individual points in the gameplay. Nevertheless, a game that you have played in 2010 at least once!

The game is a Win95 application and therefore not compatible with Dosbox. In Win 95 and 98, it is stable, on XP I have it already up and running, even if I not put my hand in the fire for every conceivable configuration. Like I said, best to set up a Win95 partition.
