I have owned the CDs for SoA and both the Warcraft 3 games for ages. They are the only ones I kept from childhood through student life and now adult life. I might take them to the grave with me. SoA is a special game to me because it was so unique and I haven’t really come across a similar game since. Sadly I never managed to finish the story! Installing the game has proven very difficult on modern hardware. Even with Linux and Wine or a Windows XP VM it failed to start. I am hoping GOG will manage to preserve this gem. Otherwise I might have to go to my grave not only with the CD but also not knowing if I would’ve sided with NOAH or COTUC! I avoided story spoilers my entire life hoping one day I would be able to find a way to play it again!
Completely forgotten real-time tactics (with some minor base management) game from the early '00s. In some ways it feels like a proto-Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 (notably during combat), but it's also quite similar in several respects to Fallout Tactics.
The game was notorious at launch for its poor pathfinding and artificial difficulty. A patch was released soon afterwards, which added improved pathing and active pause (whose initial absence pretty much everybody noticed). Unfortunately (possibly due to the aforementioned launch issues), it never became a cult classic like the later Silent Storm.
Soldiers of Anarchy – I Remember This Game Well
I have fond memories of this game. Over time, my CD got damaged, and I haven’t been able to find the game anywhere since. I spent countless hours playing it, replaying every mission over and over. Back then, the battles felt very realistic to me. I wonder how I would see it today. But honestly, I'd buy it again out of nostalgia and reinstall it with great anticipation. :)
Woefully underrated and forgotten real-time tactics game in post-apocalyptic Russia. Very few things beat the scratching of the itch to loot vehicles and weapons in a meaningful way. You can engage enemy vehicles on the battlefield, shoot weapons that liquefy the crew inside a tank and then put your own dude in to drive it back to base for repair and refurbishment, giving you a new tank.
Starting off small and then taking on a world-level threat at the end is a great journey to experience in the game.
This game was way ahead of its time. It is an RPG/RTS with basebuilding. There are different weapons to equip, vehicles to drive and it is a neat game for the most part. The camera controls and unit controls were a bit messy which is the only downside I remember.
I owned and finished the game back in the day and loved it so much, despite spending hours in front of loading screens. I've recently managed to get it running as abandonware, but it involves finding the update patch and adding a random no cd found online, I would prefer a clean repack by gog. I'm about halfway through the game in my re-play now and I must say that it didn't age so well, the AI is just so brain dead, can't go around a corner to shoot you, and the units sometimes go in the opposite direction of where they were told to go. I also think the weapons depiction is very average, with "RPG-7 bazookas" and such nonsense. But the game is so full of nostalgia, the story is entertaining and the huge levels are not so common in such RTS.

Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth

Shining Force III: 2nd ScenarioScenario 2, Target: Child of God, features Medion, Prince of Destonia, and youngest of three sons of Emperor Domaric. Although loyal to his father and his country, he senses that there are other forces at work beneath the tensions between Aspinia and Destonia. He attends the conference in Saraband on behalf of Destonia, along with his brothers Arrawnt and Mageron. As discovered in Scenario 1, much of this influence comes from the Bulzome sect, as well as collaborating separatist factions within both Destonia and Aspinia. Medion works parallel to Synbios of Aspinia, often disposing of rogue Aspinian elements to spare Synbios's force from fighting against its own countrymen. At the end of the game, Medion is forced to battle with Synbios' force when Julian steps in to stop them.Fantasy
