Earth 2150 enters the Museum I played Earth 2140 back in 1997 - one of the last DOS games - and had been impressed by the gameplay and graphics. Topware.. who are these guys? What a brilliant debut.

But up till I got color with an EGA card Microsoft Flight Sim 4 - I mostly used it to test for IBM-compatibility!!"
