In this 1998 real-time strategy game you manage a planetary base while fending off enemies. Your goal is to build mining and processing facilities power generators and repair stations to extract resources and send them to Earth. Hostile forces attack your operations forcing you to defend key structures while keeping production lines running. The gameplay balances base building resource management and real time combat as you prioritize upgrades and defenses. The game stands out for its tight integration of economic strategy and action under pressure.

Though dated by today’s standards the core loop of expanding your base while repelling waves of attackers remains functional and challenging.
