Background

Topware Interactive was a game developer division of German Topware CD-Service AG, founded in 1995. In April 2001, the parent company went bankrupt and was bought out by Zuxxez Entertainment along with the development team, which soon was divided into Reality Pump and Toontraxx. Zuxxez decided to relaunch Topware brand in the US in 2005.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the game.

Availability: Was spotted in the Australian release of Earth 2140.

3rd Logo (1997-2001)
