It landed about 3 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 1998 include Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2 and Tomb Raider II.
It is part of the Colony Wars series; on the PS1 you can also try Colony Wars and Colony Wars: Red Sun. Psygnosis also made Wipeout 2097, Wipeout and The Adventures of Lomax for the PS1.
