Total Annihilation

[StarfisherEcho]

This is the greatest RTS ever made, period.

It's currently $6 on GOG: http://www.gog.com/game/total_anihilati ... ander_pack

You can then download patches which make the game work smoothly in 1920x1080 on Win 7. Win 8 is out of luck for now, but the good folks at TA Universe are still working on this. Grab the patch here: http://www.tauniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43735

Then get GameRanger: http://www.gameranger.com/ (Just be careful installing Flash, it might try to install MacAfee)

I've been skirmishing my brother all day and my god, THIS IS WHAT GAMING SHOULD BE. This is a 17 year old game and aside from some minor interface stuff it holds up amazingly well. Every time the battle music starts I remember the Boneyards and sooo many battles... so good! BUY AND DOWNLOAD AND PLAY

Starfisher please.
I still have the CD somewhere in my bedroom.
Was it a cd?

[StarfisherEcho]

I still have my CDs too, but they don't work on Win 7 apparently. $6 gets you a NoCD version and the forum patch solves Win 7 display issues nicely. And then the glory of TA in 1080 can be yours

You guys taken alook at Planetery Annihalation? The team is msotly built up for TA and SupCom guys. It's pretty cool, though it certainl;y needs a lot more polish. I loved SupCom 1. SO much fun.

Loved TA until they stopped making units and made TA:Kingdoms (or some such). Awesome lan partys, break out the Big Bertha.

this was the game that really got me into RTS. of course i actually started with age of empires but i fell in love with this. oddly, i could only play it at school.

I still have all the CDs and addons. I have a directory with everything installed on a old computer and tons of mods and units. I can move the folder to any other computer on my network and it works fine without installing it. Yes, best RTS of all time hands down. Hell, I even made a couple maps for that game too

I actually met some of the Merciless Creations guys who where big on making custom units for this game and then later all the nice mods for Battlefield 1942
