Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri 1996

Is it still worth playing?

Squad leader Nikola ap Io fights pirates and the Hegemony, the government that rules Earth, for a colony in the Alpha Centauri system, in a 1996 tactical first person shooter for MS-DOS. Your powered battle armour has jumpjets, infrared and zoomed vision, lock-on targeting and a shield that recharges. Before each mission you choose a suit for yourself and each squadmate, from the fast Scout to the slow and powerful Heavy, and fit it with weapons and one extra, such as a turret to deploy. Up to three teammates come along, each a specialist in weapons, scouting, repairs, demolitions or electronics, and they take orders as a group or one at a time: hold, take cover, rush. The 37 missions run from rescues and assaults to reconnaissance photos across four worlds. Choosing the suits and splitting the squad still let you plan each fight on open ground your own way, reason enough to play it now.
