Epic Interactive has released a demo for the Mac version of Earth 2140, a futuristic real-time strategy game featuring over 70 different vehicles and buildings, 50 missions, multiplayer with up to 6 players and more. The game requires a 180 MHz Power Mac or better, 32 MB RAM, 80 MB hard disk space, a 3D video card with at least 4 MB VRAM and OS 8.6 or later.

They're doing Earth 2150 as well; just like they're about to release Simon the Sorcerer II and then start work on Simon the Sorcerer 3D.
I just played the Demo - for about 3 minutes. The included instructions are USELESS! Not using the escape key or command-Q to quit is inexcusable. This is just another Warcraft clone.

E.P.I.C. has said that they prefer porting prequels to new games before they port the new one themselves, because then we can have a better understanding of the work as a whole. As someone else said, they are also doing Simon the Sorceror 2 before they port Simon 3D. And they are already working on the Mac port of 2150, so don't worry about this selling poorly and upsetting them.
I think that this is a great attitude for a company to have. They probably accept that they won't make as much money with the older game, but it's still a great service for the true fans.

I am having my keyboard stop working on the second map playing both sides, so I cant save and cant call in reinforcements, which is part of the tasks in the level. Why do companies insist on releasing buggy c*** like this? The game is pretty good when it is working? I am getting reports of others with the same problem. The game is a total TA clone, but is alright.

They wana know why this stuf sits on the shelf well heres why! They wait forever to give us a port of a Two year old game instead of waiting a few months to port the current game Earth 2150 instead we get destined to fail and not sell 2140 with its non 3D hardware accerated graphics and last years game play. If thgey wana know why we don't buy this is why. If they wana be the fix until something like StarCraft 2 comes out than they need to come with the real on time.
