Wow, I remember this game. I played it around 1998 or 1999, up to a point where the protagonist was starting to turn into a mutant in a sewer area then my computer crashed. I tried reinstalling it again around 2005 but it didn't load.

Dark Earth had its flaws, but I still liked it quite a bit. And just to make this more than a necro gif reply, here's a let's play that shows a lot of the alternative paths/C & C/easter eggs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JPlCQx5zIo&list=PL015FE1B4AE0EA200

I dug Dark Earth's alternative (at the time) take on a PA setting, but as far as I'm aware none of these books got localized into English. Too bad.

Whoa, I didn't know the setting had such a big follow up.

In 1990, Nicolas Gaume created an independent French video game development company under the name Atreid Concept SA. The company set up its own distribution label in 1992 called Kalisto and released The Tinies, Cogito, S.C.Out, Fury of the Furries and Breakline between 1992 and 1994. Apple also invested in the company.

A collaboration with the Japanese group Namco led to the creation of Pac-in-Time in 1994, on Nintendo and SEGA consoles along the PC and Macintosh versions. In October 1994, the British group Pearson bought Atreid Concept and Mindscape, Inc. Atreid joined an international distribution force and became Mindscape Bordeaux in 1995, releasing Warriors, and Al Unser Jr. Arcade Racing, which was chosen by Bill Gates for the promotion of the release of Windows 95.

In 1996, Nicolas Gaume bought back 100% of Mindscape Bordeaux which then became Kalisto Entertainment. English, American, Japanese and Chinese offices were opened and between 1997 and 1998 the company released Dark Earth, [email protected] Race Pro and Nightmare Creatures.

In June 2000 the company acquired the US studio DayLight Productions and renamed it Kalisto Entertainment USA Inc. The company eventually filed for bankruptcy in April 2002. The US division's director Stretch Williams founded the studio BigSky Interactive, Inc. in May 2002 and took along the team of 30 people of the former Kalisto US studio.

So many weird Frenchie 3D games came out second half of the 90s.

I have those CDs somewhere around as well, but I'm too lazy to dive into my BIG DRAWER O' CDS. The game was featured once in some shitty mag for 10 potato or something like that, and I distinctly remember the boobie CD.

CyberMysza?
Still remember scandal when they released one game with crucification or something like that...

Same. This was one of my favorite LPs ever. That once a year reply notification in my inbox is such a tease.
