Warzone 2100 is an amazing game. When first released it was way ahead of it's time, and the fact that the community managed to track down the rights holders, successfully convince them to open source the code, then successfully get them to open up the license on the cut-scenes and music is absolutely astounding. I really wish this was the norm for end-of-life games instead of a rare story of an <i>extremely</i> dedicated fan-base moving mountains.
What a nostalgia trip this is. I played this obsessively on the original Playstation. I'm gonna have to download it and check it out. Impressive to see that the repo is still highly active!<p>It's really sad that the RTT genre has all but vanished. The game studio Massive used to make excellent RTT games like Ground Control and World in Conflict. Anyone got any tips on similar newish games?
