> [@Uosdwis\_R.Dewoh](#): > > Still have the box and contents in storage somewhere. It truly was a great game and it’s a real shame it wasn’t more successful. Ahead of it’s time, like all Looking Glass games. The mission variety was excellent. The highlight being the infiltration of the pirate base using a stolen pirate suit. > > I bet the FMV cost a pretty penny. It was pretty cheesy but I didn’t mind at the time, being a teenager already inoculated through years of bad late night scifi. The twist of one of your team members being a traitor totally got me. Didn’t see it coming. > > The box did promise a multiplayer patch was to come but it never materialised. I guess the low sales nixed that idea. Still, me and a couple of my friends, who bought the game on my recommendation (you’re welcome), would have loved it. Gah. That “multiplayer coming soon” sticker was put there by our marketing guys, over the objection of everyone on the development team. Please accept my apology for that. :mad: Today happens to be the one-year anniversary of a Rock Paper Shotgun article on Terra Nova, in which I am quoted somewhat extensively. You can read my various lamentations, especially about the %$#@! FMV.
