So EA just released a LOAD of classics on Origin, and at first I thought they'd all be lame crappy titles I'd never heard of, but then I saw they had:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Ultima (ALL OF THEM!)
Dungeon Keeper
Wing Commanders 1-3
Populous
Zuma's Revenge
Maybe I'm just old, but I'm going to play the hell out of these games for nostalgia's sake.
If I remember right, the first Wing Commander game is free with Origin's 'On The House' thingy. I've never played any of the games listed here other than Zuma's revenge lol.
Some of these games are among the cheesiest of the cheese by todays standards. Definitely check out Wing Commander, Mark Hamill just MAKES the game aha ha.
wing commander one of my all time favorites
I have the first Wing Commander in my library, I've yet to install/play it, though. I just got it in my library when I saw it was free. Free is free lol.
Ahh Populous... provided its the one I am thinking of (there are actually TWO games named Populous, the one I am referring to you can play as god) is the one listed there that is. Was a very fun game :D
That's fine and dandy, but I give it a month or two before EA goes back to their stupid selves.
Here's a demonstration.
