Have any of you guys heard of Generals?

Because Tiberian Dawn is still fun. I still play Starcraft, even Warcraft II. We
were playing modernized ports (port = rewritten code to make a program work on a
different computer system) of Duke Nukem 3D and DOOM at my LAN party last month.
I got 5 "Mighty Boot" kills with Duke, and I can't even count the number of very
satisfying double-shotgun Blasts of Death I administered in DOOM. Although we
can't play TD multiplayer since everyone is running 2K or XP, I remember playing
it only a few years ago. I APC rushed my friend and whacked him in a matter of a
few minutes.

I like Generals, too, but the older games can be more accessible sometimes.
Especially considering that you get TWO CDs with them, it means that there is a
(legal) way for other people at a LAN to play. One of the worst things you can
have at a LAN party is for everybody to have a bunch of different games and
nobody willing to install any of them, leaving you stranded with the few games
everybody has.

contemplation, Jordon Scott <q1221432@mail.connect.usq.edu.au> put
finger to keyboard and produced the following;

It's a far superior game.
