  1. My favorite strategy game is Total Annihilation so many units were released for that game. Skirmishes were insane, with tons of units blasting away at each other from air, land and sky.

    And yes, I backed Planetary Annihilation.

Gaming Flashback: DOOMGaming Flashback: DOOM

DOOM is a PC game titlat that wasn’t initially released in stores. It was uploaded to an FTP server in the University of Wisconsin-Madison and on the Software Creations BBS on the 10th of December; released as a shareware game, people were encouraged to download and spread the game around to all their friends.
