First RTS as well as game I ever played, was blown away at the time by the music, sound design, and destructive elements. Historical Inaccuracies aside I was also engaged by its singleplayer story and helped peak my interest in actually researching the events that took place during that time. I know that this edition in the franchise is looked down upon in favor of its superior second game, but it has a special place in my heart, and I think people should give it a second chance.
This was the first RTS game I saw. I watched it at my friends house. The music, sound, atmosphere was mesmerising. I know that the Definitive Edition was made, but it changed a lot of what the original game was. I think that the original should be preserved and be available for easy purchase.
