I love strategy games - you name it, I have played it since 1984 - the Command & Conquer Series, WarCraft, Starcraft, Total Annihilation, etc. as well as the so many middling titles and the military campaigners like The Cossacks, various Panzer series, Blitzkrieg, etc., etc. Original War is good enough to stand with all of these and you will not regret playing it. The game has a branching storyline and the outcome of events in one mission will affect what happens in the future. It isn't Red Alert, or TA but it is just as much fun and engrossing. The graphics are now dated (23 years or so later!) but this will not matter once you get into the game. It frequently comes up for sale on GOG so there is no excuse not to own it! The game wasn't the success it should have been but like cult films, it now has a following and there are some good videos out there on the gameplay.
