, My name is grumpy , real name Mike and I am from Pennsylvania USA, and i played earth 2025 and earth empires, and global 2025 and nation Wars which are all basically the same format but different in there own ways. Ive been playing since 1998 and haven't stopped. these games are addicting. very addicting there like a drug on the computer.. any way have fun and just remember that this is just a game
