Post obscure games you thought and/or still think were good/cool.
Picrel. You could design your own vehicles and aircraft which I thought was the dopest shit ever, even if it was kind of horribly balanced. The techno-post-apoc aesthetic it's got going on is my jam and I digged the music too.
It also got FOSS'd by its own dev which is rare to see and kind of cool in its own right. You can just download it for free now and it'll work natively.

I still pop this game on every now and then. Still a fun time. Campaign is still kino too. Except for Gamma 5, the very definition of anti-fun in an RTS.

There was a bug in the original game that let you put VTOL weapons on land units. They were treated like high damage shots with a very short range and a long cooldown. Except the Phosphor Bomb Bay specifically which had no cooldown, leading it to being a rapid fire nuke that also set enemies on fire. Anyone who got close would be obliterated near instantly.
Sadly the modern version patched the bug out. Couldn't tell you which version it was removed exactly.

As it's open sores now you can re-introduce the bug deliberately in your own build if you really want.

I get way too invested into the unit designer in that game. Always have like 30something different ones saved by the end of a campaign.

German rpg. I keep thinking about going back to it but last time I couldn't make it work on modern system.

Had this one on the PS1 and PC, such a fun and novel take on RTS, the campaign was also fun, but fuck Nexus taking control on your units.

For a moment I thought it's Shattered Union. Speaking of I feel the setting of broken apart American is underated and underused in video games.

The multiplayer "community" of this game consists of eastern Europeans who have no clue what the core of this game is because all they do is play each other over and over in these 5vs5 "NTW" maps where the terrain is virtually featureless, everyone has 40 oil derricks at their base, the energy levels set to high, and they have never played any other RTS.
If you search for WZ2100 multiplayer games on youtube that is pretty much all you will see, If you don't play the game with these settings they act like you don't know the game even though they have no understanding of things as simple as power creep.
They literally think the fucking truth is theirs to define because they are the most vocal players, Which is why they threatened to shut off the game hoster (they have come to depend on) because the devs wouldn't ignore people they disagree with.

How come no one tried to mimick this game?

>old as fuck rts
>has a slav community
yep, that's a sign of kino

reminds me of sudden strike 2, which has an insanely autistic modern warfare mod that has literally 1000+ vehicles and insanely large maps, just beautiful slavic autism

I had a lot of their shareware in the early 2000s.

Discovered via eGames

>>719232754
Also this

I also have the small rockets compilation. I need to figure out how to get the games working on modern systems.

Nobody wants to be liable for thousands of broken controllers.

>>719227221 (OP)
Goddamn, I swear that this game and that game are somehow spiritually linked or something. (aside from the fact that one still has an active "community", while the other doesn't have any)

>>719231767
I've not played the game (single player) for years nor have I ever played MP. In skirmish mode I just like building huge artillery batteries and dropping the hammer on the a.i so what you describe means nothing to me but is usually how lesser known games end up.

>>719233052
*this game

>>719232925
I've never played this despite it being on my backlog for over 20 years. I really should do something about it.

>>719227221 (OP)
Demo Disc core.

I rented warzone 2100 on playstation one weekend. Fun times.

>>719232684
That's only if the is MADE by slavs which Warzone 2100 is not, Hence these fucking retards cannot understand it.

>>719233963
So is Gothic and Heroes of Might and Magic but that doesn't stop them.

Rise & Fall: Civilizations at war.

>>719235409
>egyptian dynasty warriors
KOOOOEEEEIIIII

>>719235940
Not really. It's mostly a regular rts but you can control heroes in third person mode.

>>719227221 (OP)
I played the shit it ouf the ps1 demo as a kid
I got the modern pc release recently and had a blast going down memory lane

>>719237923
the shit out of*
think I had a stroke while writing that

>>719235940
Speaking of ancient dynasty warriors, man pic related was cool. Wish we would get more musou games set in Europe.

>>719235409
I like this text font that lot of old pc games used to have

>>719238367
Someone please replace the three "kill" with "fuck".

Great game
