For my next game, I'm moving on from the 4X genre but I'm sticking with a scifi themed game. I'm going to be playing Metaltech: Earthsiege by Dynamix, a giant robot mech sim game. I messed around with this game a bit when it originally came out and a friend of mine had a copy, but I never progressed beyond the first or second mission. I remember thinking this game was the best thing I had ever seen when I originally played it as a teenager, so I'm curious to see how it has aged. When compared to the relatively simple games I had been playing at the time such as Wolfenstein 3d, Doom, or Rebel Assault, Earthsiege blew me away with its amazing polygonal graphics, FMV-type characters, sound effects, and complex simulation gameplay. I'll give it an honest try and see how far I can make it before I decide to move on to the next game.
