Works on PlayOnLinux with LAN Multiplayer

This version of the game avoids all the messing about with the original cds, or ISOs, and patches, and no-cds, and patches of IPX, and patches of patches. I'm using (2 PCs the same) Ubuntu Studio 20.04, PlayOnLinux 4.3.4 with the installer provided through the service. Wine 3.03 emulating Win98. The only additional 'Install Component' I needed was Directplay. Nvidia proprietary driver - legacy driver 390. Plus also playing on the same network a newer Win7 PC that had to be told to run it in Win98 compatibility mode. This version worked out of the box (apart from PlayOnLinux not automatically installing Directplay for multiplayer). It used to take longer to set up in 1997. I don't think we even managed to get the TCP/IP working back then, we used to do it with fricking printer cables. GOG should say "Linux compatible", because it very much is. I reckon it doesn't even need POL - in its Wine there are only about 4 library overrides showing. The publishers really should have taken the opportunity to introduce some more modern netcode than Directplay which I believe has been deprecated for a lot of years. This is amazingly good value for Linux gamers. This GOG repackage levels another bit of the playing field with Windows, because in nearly 25 years none of the AAA titles on any platform has managed to exceed Total Annihilation.

STILL PLAYING THIS GREAT RTS

I have all 3 original packaged games of this series and I still play them. Some levels on the hard setting are still nearly unbeatable. Though the graphics can't quite match the newer versions of this game, remember this game is well over 10 years old and has aged quite well. AH.....and the days of just installing the game and playing it with no hassles. Thank God! I have installed this game over and over through the years to play it as my pc's grew more powerful and yet this game performs flawlessly. What can I say? Maybe the best RTS ever. Would give it an extra "star" if I could.

Likely the best RTS in history.

I got Total Annihilation a very long time ago, and it's been my top RTS since. Not a single RTS game I feel has matched it's ability to capture my attention since it launched in 97, some come close but never match it. With amazing expandability for new units, maps, and AI profiles, makes it quite a lasting game. While the engine has some limitations in unique unit count and army size, the game always leaves you wanting another match. With a few small segments of the community still intact, it is one of the longest running games in history (Rightfully so.) despite no dev support due to shutdown of Cavedog. You will not be disappointed. But be mindful, this game is about a war, not a squad. I believe this to be in the top 5 games of all time, and easily the top RTS. Chris Taylors best work, and worthy of spotlight in PC gaming's history.

AMAZING!!!

This game is still as addictive as it was when I first played it with some friends in high school. We would have LAN parties and play this for hours! I've always favored the core army while some of my friends preferred the arm. The boards are all unique and require a different strategy to build and protect your base. This is one game that never gets old and has stood the test of time. Even the newer supreme commander does not have the same level of re playability. Get this game and you will not be disappointed!

Best bar none

Forget your remakes with flashy graphics, my original TA game disks are the only thing I would save from a house fire. Sending in suicide troops to expose enemy installations on the other side of the map so you can target them with a battery of Big Berthas? The massive screen shake as you blow chunks out of the enemy base? The pitched battles where you have to defend your base from waves of intruders with choke points? Gathering scrap metal in the desperate attempt to build more laser/missile towers? Pure gold.
