The 1969 moon landing was a cover up, but not in the way that conspiracy theorists predicted. It was a distraction from the rockets the military secretly sent to the moon to investigate a strange metal found in a meteorite containing properties of artificial intelligence. Play as the commander of the National Space Defense Force, a division of the United States military stationed on the moon during the Cold War. Your mission is to investigate the bio-metal and research its use as armor and weapons far beyond our technological capabilities. When you arrive to begin the research, an old enemy appears: the Soviet Union and its Cosmo Colonist Army. Race them across the solar system collecting alien artifacts in an effort to understand where the bio-metal came from before the Soviets develop weapons to destroy you. But be careful; you may uncover an ancient enemy with the ability to destroy every human back on Earth. This game plays like a real-time strategy game but also gives you a first-person shooter view for attacking enemies. Really, the gameplay is quite impressive considering the time it was made. Unfortunately this game was really the last of its genre, but it is very enjoyable and any RTS fans would love it.
