It's been a while, but thanks to the people at IDEA Games, Original War has returned to the GOG.com catalog!
For those of you who don't recall the game, it is a tactical [url=http://www.gog.com/en/search/sort/genre/real-time]real-time strategy game, featuring great gameplay and an awesome, non-linear storyline. It's impossible to cover the whole story in just a few words, but it's all about time travel, most importantly using it to ensure a prosperous future for your faction (the USA or USSR) and stop your competitors from doing the same for theirs... Actually, they already did it, so you have to go back to stop them from doing it again... Or at all... To put icing on the already delicious cake, the game sports great music and a well-balanced multiplayer mode, which is pretty lively, especially for a game of Original War's age.
