Colony Wars

Colony Wars is a combat game set in space. You, the player, join the League's fleet as a recruit. The missions take place in different space fighters, from the 1st person perspective in the cockpit or from the 3rd person perspective. The ships have separate displays for shields and armor, and the player must switch between weapons specifically designed to damage both. In the simplest case, purple lasers must destroy the target's shields, and then switch to red lasers that destroy the target. The game features advanced lighting and particle effects for the Playstation, as well as a basic simulation of Newtonian physics. The thrusters are only active as long as you hold down the acceleration button. The player can trigger his thrusters and drift, which allows for some advanced maneuvers. The campaign also features multiple endings and branching missions/plot lines that depend on your performance in the previous missions.
