2: Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri
Looking Glass was a studio capable of many things. They created System Shock. And then they created Flight Unlimited. And Terra Nova. The latter was like a bastard between the two formers. Part science fiction saga, part hardcore simulation. The player took the part of a young power armor pilot defending his home planet against an evil, totalitarian Terran government invasion. Besides some pretty great writing, the game also delivered a fun, deep and versatile simulation of mech vs. mech (and vehicular) combat. Also there were jetpacks. Never forget the jetpacks.
