I still replay this game every now and then. I think it's impressive even today with the enemy count. I really hope GOG can bring it back. I imagine the clips from the movie are a nightmare to license.

Huge fan of Paul Verhoeven's 1997 movie! Been playing this bad boy back when. The feeling of being assaulted by hundreds, if not thousands, of Warrior Bugs rivals the intense action of the movie. Also, the lighting and level art greatly enhances the movie-like atmosphere. Since it’s been over two decades, I’m curious to find out how the developers handled the franchise, particularly its satirical nature. Don’t you wanna know more? Still own the german Collector’s Edition, but I’ve been trying to get it to run on different operating systems (Win7, Win10, and now Win11) without success. Please consider remastering the game!

This is actually an Excellent but forgotten FPS with hundreds of bugs on screen. Your rifles mostly carry hundreds of rounds just like the movie. Still one of the best Starship troopers game ever made. Love this game! Story is actually really good as well.

This game was always out of my reach as a kid, Starship Troopers movie is one of my favorite movies of all time so I nearly killed my PC trying to get this game running on my PC 3 years ago, it would be a dream come true to have this work on my current PC so I can finally live my dreams of slaying bugs in a single player capacity, if this becomes a reality we truly are living in the good timeline and I'll pay anything for this game

I met this game thanks to a gameplay on youtube, around 2008-2009, being my first contact with something related to Starship Troopers. To this day I usually replay it from time to time despite certain flaws it has. Although I have to admit that this game feels better than Extermination itself, great hordes of bugs, scenes that remind a lot to the first movie, it is a good fps that although, it could not compete with titles of that time, it is one that is worth playing and more if you love this franchise. Soundtrack that respects the first movie, gigantic scenarios, simple but good story for the type of game it is. I'm doing my part! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Escape from Tarkov
Escape from TarkovEscape from Tarkov is a hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with MMO features and story-driven walkthrough. With each passing day the situation in the Norvinsk region grows more and more complicated. Incessant warfare in Tarkov has sparked massive panic; local population has fled the city, but those who stayed are looking to improve their fortunes at the expense of others. Having accepted the new reality, “savage” Tarkov locals - Scavs flocked into well-armed gangs and started the redivision of the city. Nowadays, Tarkov is separated by unseen borders, controlled by different groups. Gain-greedy gunmen would go to any length to have their way, including the murder of civilians and direct confrontation with the two private military companies. The players will have to experience living in the skin of one of the mercenaries who survived the initial stage of the Tarkov conflict. After choosing one of the sides – USEC or BEAR – the player’s character starts to make his way out of the city. Tarkov is sealed off by UN and Russian military, supply chains are cut, communication with operational command is lost, and in these conditions everyone has to make his own choices of what to do and how to get out of the chaos-ridden metropolis.

There, across battlefields of a war-beaten Earth, you'll command your forces against units of the Zeon army. You'll need to master every move in your suit--and weapon in your arsenal--to outflank the Zeon and complete each mission. And although you've got armored vehicles and ant-sized infantry on your side, the battle will be lost or won by your ability to jump, hover, and fly into battle while zooming in your weapons on the enemy. A cross between first-person shooter and strategy game, Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From the Ashes comes from a series that originated on the Sega Saturn. This title features such enhancements as detailed 3-D mobile suits, cinematic interstitial scenes, a dramatic soundtrack, and actual sound effects from the anime TV series, Gundam Wing.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
