Warzone 2100! What a Great game! I think i finished it 3 times, 1 on PS1 and 2 times on PC. I loved this customization of tanks and planes, the progression of technologies from lousy machine guns to lasers. The last zone with those pulse lasers, railguns was a great "pew pew" mysterious atmosphere. Always wished the campaign lasted longer after I unlocked best weapons and cool looking tank parts. Man , I loved building those bases, preparing defenses... I think I am gonna play it for 4th time..

Kohan 1 and Kohan 2 are gems, I never seen anyone playing it, multiplayer I think never worked, and even on platforms like GameRanger I can't see anyone playing it, but it's still insane gems, love it !

@@CuXxX87mt Don't you ever get crashes ? Half of my games ends up crashing even though I put the game in Windows XP compatibility mode

[@CuXxX87mt]

No, I can't recall any game crashes during single player or multiplayer. I am running windows 10/11 and have no problems with the steam version. I do recall some online crashes when playing a pirated version. You could save an online game just like a normal campaign map and when the crash occurred, the host would just start a new online game with that save file. That helped a lot when playing huge maps, where matches could go up for hours.

I'm so glad I found it even after I had made peace with the fact that I'd probably never find it.
