Earth 2150
Earth 2150 is yet another one of my favorite games ever made. It is ground-breaking in all ways, which have won it many awards, and further stretching the series out into yet another game known as The Moon Project. I'll just share some of the basic facts about the game right now:

Story
In the year 2002, a space research corporation named LUNAR CORPORATION was founded. The company's goals were to introduce humans to the glories of space travel, to monopolize space exploration and, above all, the exploitation of space. Around 2014, the Lunar Corporation absorbed the old NASA structure, inheriting all its space technologies and tactics. In 2034, the company completed construction of the first city in orbit, called Orbital City 1. There followed a real stampede of company employees and their families to leave the political and economic chaos on Earth in favor of the safety and security of the newly built city in space. As the situation on Earth continued to grow more hostile, all those who could afford to do so left. The population of Orbital City 1 increased so much that a second city was needed. Construction began in 2036, but was never completed. In 2037 the first permanent base was set up on the Moon. In 2084, when the Great War broke out on Earth, all the residents of Orbital 1 were evacuated to a city on the Moon called LUNA 1. Afterwards, the Lunar Corporation broke off all contacts with Earth. Since then it has followed an independent path. Several years later a second orbital city was founded, known as LUNA 2.
A few years later, the Earth itself lay in ruins as almost all the nations of the world battled it out with devastating new weaponry and technology. Mainly two new nations were formed as a result of these never- ending skirmishes and massacres: the U.C.S. (United Civilized States, the last of America) and the E.D. (Eurasian Dynasty, which included almost all of the other former nations). The raging wars between these two nations continued bitterly.
At one point, the E.D. forces had suffered a wave of horrible defeats along the coasts and jungles, so they began to fall back. The U.C.S. did not choose to send the bulk of their forces to follow them back into the heart of the Dynasty, but rather, continued to build up and spread out, completely controlling both of the Americas and most of Africa and Europe. E.D. officials were horrified and they panicked. Within a few days, the E.D. had launched several heavy nukes at polar bases at both ends of the Earth, and a few other areas in Europe. The resulting explosions were so massive, that they knocked Earth out of it's normal orbit. Scientists on both sides were thoroughly horrified to find out that Earth was on a collision course with the Sun.
Unfortunately, Earth only has a few areas with the materials needed to build enough ships to make it into space and look for another home. So now, both sides want these rare areas, so they battle it out more and more, every day getting closer and closer to either their salvation or their doom.
