Old RTS game

[syndicated44]

Moon Project perhaps? I know it had customizable units. The new one is earth 2160 which kicks my ass every time.

Moon Project also let you tunnel underground if that jogs anything??

Yay wiki article

Was it X com? I never played this game but I remember seeing it in stores and after searching the Wiki it sounds like it might match up with what you're talking about.

only one i can think of is MechCommander

MechCommander was badass!

Dark Reign: The Future of War, maybe?

 

[Jackel_623]

Moon Project or Earth 2150

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2150

People! Thank you for helping me out, I finally found the game I was searching for.
It was not "Earth 2140" or "Earth 2150" which looks kind of cool. It was not "Total Annihilation" or "Moon Project".

The game was released in 1998, so I was one year of. I suddenly remembered that the name had either "Alien" or "Breed" in it's name. I started searching for a game which contain "Alien" in it's name around '95 to 97, but I didn't find the one I was searching for. Then I tried "breed" and yes! Finally I found it!

It is a game called "Warbreeds" from 1998, created by Red Orb Entertainment.

No idea, I only played C&C games and Total Annihilation (which by the way was AWESOME and needs a sequel now!). I'm sure someone on here will have your answer.

OMG! someone else who knows what total annihilation is!
And yes it does need a sequel, supreme commander didn't quite live up to it :/

Only the best RTS ever!!! Now I want to play it... I wonder if it'll work on 7...? Hmmmmm

I always preffered TA: Kingdoms, but i think i was the only one.

Dear fellow gamers

I am in need of some assistance, please.
I'm looking for an old RTS game for PC. I really don't know alot about the game, but here goes:

The game I am looking for is an old RTS game. I've estimated that the game was released around 1995-1998. It's graphics are similiar to StarCraft and KKnD and such games of that era. No 3D, zooming or panning with the camera.
Ok, the game itself was nothing major; It featured two or three(?) races that you could choose from and they all had the same structure system as StarCraft/Red Alert; buy this factory, build this unit and so on. But, the thing that I really liked with this game, was that you could customize your units. You could customize your units from arms till feet. I don't remember if the torso or the head was changeable. The process was very like the process in the game "Metal Fatigue": you put parts on a "body" and then you accept it into the world. Pretty cool! The game was based in space on the races homeplanets I believe.

I'm sorry for the lack of information, but I hope some of you could give me some help.
Thanks

Is it Outlive? That had an extent of unit upgrading, and it was very similar to StarCraft.

WHADD'YA WAAAANT?

INSUFFICIENT ENERGY.

 

[Sajuuk-khar]

Dark Reign: The Future of War, maybe?

Exactly what I was thinking, but Dark Reign didn't have customizable units right? Been years since I played it, so I might have forgotten.

Age of Empires. Doesn't get much older then that.

Yes it does.

Just a guess, but Alpha Centaurii? I haven't played it but I think it fits the era.

Yeah, and it has customizable units. It's just that it isn't an RTS.

Wasn't kingdoms the sequel to T.A?

 

[Funkysandwich]

You should try Mechcommander, it's not the exact game you're looking for but it does have fully customisable units. I believe you can even put guns in their legs.

 

[kenzo1010]

Sounds like Total Annihilation. Man I used to love that game!

Wasn't really much of a sequel seeing as they completely changed the setting.

Kind of a random guess but could it be one of the games in the mech commander series?

*cough cough* GENTLEMEN? Anyone notice his post?
The search is over!

P.S. I need a T.A. manual in order to play it.

 

[Delusibeta]

Well, since there seems there is a high proportion of people talking about it, may I remind everyone that Total Annihilation is now on Impulse? [http://www.impulsedriven.com/totalannihilation]

 

[He_Is_Legend]

Anybody know where I can get "Warbreeds"?
It is not on Impulse.

 

[19]

Try Shattered Galaxy. You can customize your units there in the same way you described.

 

[Hans Henrik]

It is not on Impulse.
