    Worth noting that (at least for Red Alert 2) , they aren’t requiring you install whatever their launcher is.

    I instantly picked up SimCity 3000 there, it’s literally the first computer game I’ve ever played! It was practically free and runs well. Might grab the C&C collection too, I didn’t play those back in the day.

      I didn’t spend much time on Sim City 4 and didn’t get the reboot after the reviews were so bad, but I always felt Sim City 3000 was the best one. Maybe a few things I liked better in Sim City 2000, but as an overall game I’d go with 3000.

    A game they looted from Westwood’s corpse, a game they looted from Maxis’s corpse, five games they looted from Bullfrog’s corpse, a game they looted from Pandemic’s corpse, and… Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri.

    This is the trophy room Arnie finds in The Predator.

    As an old guy, it’s still profoundly weird to me that this is the same company that made Deluxe Paint.

      Or in the beginning released beautiful boxes, with lots of information on the developers, they were a piece of art. Hence the name Electronic Arts.

      They started as a great little company.

    Nice to see the saboteur in there, never got to finish it due to the red ring of death on the 360 🍾 (pour one out). I hate EA but its good that people have a chance to play these old titles.

      If it’s the same build that’s on Origin, it takes a little work to get controllers working. Hopefully it arriving on Steam will alleviate some of that with community profiles!

      I still revisit this game every few years. It’s so damn good. It’d be cool to see Mercenaries 2 join Steam as well (with Steamplay!!! I can dream, right?).

      That game is fun. I got it from GoG awhile ago

      E. Never ran into any controller issues with it.

    I guess we’ll never see the likes of carbon or most wanted… Let alone underground 2.
