Ok, you removed this title from sale, but why the heck can't we who bought it play it ?!

I know it's included in other version now, but I still don't like my games being literally removed.

It's basically a movie where you pick different choices and get different outcomes, but it's also an experience that makes you think about things.

A great compilation of the classic Top Racer (over here called "Top Gear", but due to license issues this name was dropped) games, including a new version of the OG game with new vehicles.

The games are the SNES versions, but this is not an issue since those were arguably the best versions.

I had some issues with the sound, but it seems if you don't ALT-TAB, it doesn't get out of sync as easily.

But I certainly recommend this compilation, to every retro game fan out there, especially those who love classic arcade racers like OutRun, Lotus Racing, F-Zero, etc.

A true retro arcade racer, no bollocks.

It's a payable mod and there's no SP campaign to it, but it has some pretty cool SP missions and a solid map and units.

Grab it on a discount if you're a cold war nut.

Although you will eventually buy this DLC, I still think paying for scoped weapons is a scam.

The graphics are good, the handling is okay, there's quite some tracks and a ton of cars.

If you want to re-live your childhood, this game is spot-on.

There is a lot of payable DLC here though, but I guess this is true for most games nowadays, and I miss more gameplay cameras (e.g. front, hood, far behind, maybe even top).

Overall, a thumbs up from me.

The RTS genre used to be one of the most popular type of games on the PC gaming scene some several decades ago, pioneered by the likes of Dune 2, refined by the likes of WarCraft, Command & Conquer, Total Annihilation, etc.

The Command & Conquer series in particular were very popular and revered, with Westwood Studios putting a hit after a hit.

These games not only had fantastic re-playlability and tactics to them, they also had somewhat impressive (for the time) full-motion video cut-scenes.

Tiberian Sun is the direct successor to Tiberian Dawn, the original C&C game, as such could be seen as "Command & Conquer 2".

It is set in a post-apocalyptic setting, with deserted towns, deserts, snowy maps, etc.

The dark Sci-Fi setting is fantastic in my eyes and I enjoy the aesthetics fully.

It also features several improvements over Tiberian Dawn, like support for higher resolutions, more destructible objects, more options, etc.

The version here also comes with Firestorm expansion, and it's a grab for 10 bucks or so, what it costed me to get the C&C collection, which also includes other C&C titles (among them the likes of "Renegade", an interesting FPS game set in C&C universe).

But while all the games are optimized to run on modern PCs, I still can't help but think how amazing a full-on remaster of Tiberian Sun could have been, alongside Red Alert 2, which is also a great game.

If you're a RTS fan, or just a gamer who wants to experience what all the fuss about this franchise was about, I warmly recommend you to grab this compilation of C&C franchise.

The best (and only, as Sega removed all other versions of the classic Sonic titles) compilation of the classic Sonic games.

The games were updated with wide-screen support and several other enhancements, including fully animated intros for all the games, which is a nice touch.

The compilation also includes several Game Gear titles, but you have to get the "Plus" DLC for them.

However, it would have been nice if we had some sort of "CRT filter" option, as these games were designed to be displayed on CRT screens, and 3rd party emulators are somewhat good at this, but here this feature is missing.

I also miss the inclusion of "spin-off" titles like Sonic Spinball (the Game Gear version is included but not the better Mega Drive/Genesis one) and Sonic 3D Blast and maybe some drawings/art like in the Street Fighter and Mutant Turtles compilations.

Overall, I recommed this compilation to all Sonic fans, and gamers who like good classic games in general.
