Sweet. This is my second favorite Blizzard game behind Diablo II.

Power... Overwhelming.

I still have the SC and BW CDs somewhere. Had a lot of fun. I have Diablo II installed but no time to play online these days. Sometimes for old times sake, just play single player. No time for games.

Total Annihilation is free as well iirc.

I still play single-player on it sometimes. It's also supported by Steam -- my son plays it there.

Total Annihilation is definitely one of the best RTS games ever made.

My son gave me a link to a free download whence I got it a few years back, with CC expansion pack and user-made units, maps, and a map-editor to make one's own maps. I'll see if I can't dig it up if anyone is interested.

Wait... legally? Lol.

I already have it on Steam and it comes with exactly that. The Core Contingency + Battle Tactics + map editor, etc. But it's well worth the small amount of money... for both single player and Multiplayer. And it runs perfectly on Windows 10.

<3 Steam.

How have you beat it to death? You can always play AoE2 with me sometime, I have both the original and the Steam version Tongue
