What I mean by that is, there are some of us who grew up with the dawn of RTS titles with highlights including Dune 2 and the original Command Conquer.

Then there are those who joined the games later when a lot more detail was added to the gameplay mechanics and options could overwhelm the player.

I am of the former and I suspect that may influence this review.

Anyone expecting more than that is likely to be disappointed, if however youve continued to enjoy the game from its original release, this now gives you an easier way to play it (without having to load compatibility modes or similar work arounds) and with a bit of a bump up in graphics quality to boot.

Not too surprisingly you have the ability to use the famous turtle defense which is very handy when encountering ranged units especially.

Siege units can be used to weaken fortresses and ladders can be deployed to storm the walls.

You have three preset camera anglesviews which can feel a bit restrictive considering most RTS titles not only allow you to zoom in or out from units, but also allows you to rotate your view around them not so here.

This can be quite annoying when you are attempting to storm a stronghold and want to know where units are (which can be found with your eagle scout).

Do you like the older style RTS games with less minute detail to focus on and a stripped back easier mechanic, then this might tickle your fancy.

But if you need absolutely all the bells and whistles, to have complete control over everything and the most up to date state of the art then perhaps give it a miss.

Moving on to the more traditional PC genre in the years that followed with the classic Jump Joe and Alley Cat.

CGA, EGA, VGA and beyond PCs have been central to my gaming but Ive also enjoyed consoles and hand helds along the way (who remembers the Atari Lynx).
