There were quite a few games using the same formula (and improving on it), to the point where I feel Desperados would be my favorite in that genre, not Commandos itself.

I still remember having to reparation my drive and reinstall windows, upgrading from fat16, because commandos wouldn’t fit on either partition.

Going through Desperados 3 after wastelands myself. Shadow tactic up next.

For me Xcom mechanics is goat. For all my life I'd been into RTS, rise of nations kind.

Commandos remaster is on the way. Maybe I'll pick it up to remind myself of childhood horrors

Agent 47 looks like he's seen some shit.

I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.

I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can't pilot when you're colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.

Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it's place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.

Real life barely feels like you're being rewarded anymore imo.

Wolf's logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.

These games are so old i can almost hear the clack-clack of the CRT monitor changing resolution as the game launches.

I can't believe someone else got gunman chronicles. Although mine looks more like a half life cover than yours.

Rtcw is also my goto memory whenever someone mentions Wolfenstein. The modded 64 player servers were a blast despite the lag.

I dont't think I've ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.

FF7 was hot garbage
