I have owned the CDs for SoA and both the Warcraft 3 games for ages. They are the only ones I kept from childhood through student life and now adult life. I might take them to the grave with me. SoA is a special game to me because it was so unique and I haven’t really come across a similar game since. Sadly I never managed to finish the story! Installing the game has proven very difficult on modern hardware. Even with Linux and Wine or a Windows XP VM it failed to start. I am hoping GOG will manage to preserve this gem. Otherwise I might have to go to my grave not only with the CD but also not knowing if I would’ve sided with NOAH or COTUC! I avoided story spoilers my entire life hoping one day I would be able to find a way to play it again!
Completely forgotten real-time tactics (with some minor base management) game from the early '00s. In some ways it feels like a proto-Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 (notably during combat), but it's also quite similar in several respects to Fallout Tactics.
The game was notorious at launch for its poor pathfinding and artificial difficulty. A patch was released soon afterwards, which added improved pathing and active pause (whose initial absence pretty much everybody noticed). Unfortunately (possibly due to the aforementioned launch issues), it never became a cult classic like the later Silent Storm.
Soldiers of Anarchy – I Remember This Game Well
I have fond memories of this game. Over time, my CD got damaged, and I haven’t been able to find the game anywhere since. I spent countless hours playing it, replaying every mission over and over. Back then, the battles felt very realistic to me. I wonder how I would see it today. But honestly, I'd buy it again out of nostalgia and reinstall it with great anticipation. :)
Woefully underrated and forgotten real-time tactics game in post-apocalyptic Russia. Very few things beat the scratching of the itch to loot vehicles and weapons in a meaningful way. You can engage enemy vehicles on the battlefield, shoot weapons that liquefy the crew inside a tank and then put your own dude in to drive it back to base for repair and refurbishment, giving you a new tank.
Starting off small and then taking on a world-level threat at the end is a great journey to experience in the game.
This game was way ahead of its time. It is an RPG/RTS with basebuilding. There are different weapons to equip, vehicles to drive and it is a neat game for the most part. The camera controls and unit controls were a bit messy which is the only downside I remember.
I owned and finished the game back in the day and loved it so much, despite spending hours in front of loading screens. I've recently managed to get it running as abandonware, but it involves finding the update patch and adding a random no cd found online, I would prefer a clean repack by gog. I'm about halfway through the game in my re-play now and I must say that it didn't age so well, the AI is just so brain dead, can't go around a corner to shoot you, and the units sometimes go in the opposite direction of where they were told to go. I also think the weapons depiction is very average, with "RPG-7 bazookas" and such nonsense. But the game is so full of nostalgia, the story is entertaining and the huge levels are not so common in such RTS.
Rugrats: Scavenger HuntIn their big debut on the Nintendo 64, the favorite cartoon babies are about to get wrapped up in the scavenger hunt to end all scavenger hunts. Featuring three different board games, RUGRATS: Scavenger Hunt utilizes the animation and humor from the cartoon series, and melds it into an original game that has players traipsing through 3D worlds looking for hidden objects. In "The Pirate Treasure Hunt," the babies travel underwater in search of items; "Angelica's Temple of Gloom" challenges players to find bits of Stu's broken Aztec statues before Angelica can; and "Reptar Rally" has the babies collecting sweets in Candy Island. Once you choose your baby from a list that includes Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, or Lil, you begin using a spinner (just like a board game spinner) to determine how many spaces you'll advance. There are lots of trick spaces that give you advantages or disadvantages, like the Spike the Dog spot (which allows you to ride the pet for five spaces), and a Dil spot (which makes Dil come out and shuffle the board). Don't get too worked up though, as each baby has an energy meter, and if it hits zero you'll have to take a nap.

Arc the Lad IIIThe events of this game take place several years after Elk and Arc faced their ultimate enemy in "Arc the Lad II". You control Alec, a teenager whose entire village was destroyed by an unknown evil - an event that was later called "The Great Disaster". He was saved by a mysterious Hunter. Since then, growing peacefully in a village he was brought to, which was like a new home for the survivors of the Great Disaster, Alec dreams about meeting the Hunter again, and becoming a Hunter himself. Together with his best friend Lutz he tries his luck in nearby towns, receiving small Hunter jobs, until the fate crosses the ways of the two young people with a mysterious organization called the Academy. And there their adventure really begins...
The gameplay of this third installment of Arc the Lad series is very similar to that of the predecessor. You fight enemies in turn-based battles, and can move freely on the battlefield, positioning your party members the way you like. You can upgrade your weapons by forging them with special materials, and have a variety of techniques and magic spells at your disposal.Fantasy
Arc the Lad IIThis direct sequel to "Arc the Lad" continues the unfinished story of the first game, but starts from a totally different perspective. You control a bounty-hunter named Elk, who suffers from amnesia. On his quest for his own true identity he discovers the powers hidden within him, and the destiny of his entire tribe. While pursuing his archenemy, Elk meets up with Arc, the hero of the first game, and then both realize they have been looking to destroy the very same evil.
The battle system of "Arc the Lad II" is similar to the one used in its predecessor: in battles you can move your characters on the battle field, and your proximity to the enemies plays an important role. You cause and take different amounts of damage depending on your position on the battle field. Unlike the first game, this one is a full-fledged adventure/RPG, without the "strategy" feel of the predecessor. You move through the game world on your own, visiting towns and exploring dungeons.Fantasy

Wild Arms XFWild Arms XF is a 2D turn-based tactical role-playing game, creating a gameplay experience somewhere between Dungeons & Dragons and chess. Players are given control of a small squad of characters (six or less) and placed on a grid-based map resembling a geographical location (a swamp, a town, a river), upon which they fight battles to progress through the game. As with most T/RPGs, positional advantage can be critical to victory, and players are encouraged to outmaneuver their enemies as well as outgun them. The game emphasizes positioning and maneuvering by the inclusion of "Formation Arts," which increase attack damage when an enemy is surrounded by your characters in a line, a triangle or a circle. Wild Arms XF is a member of the small subsection of T/RPGs whose battlefields are based around hexagonal tiles instead of squares. "Combination Arts" return from previous Wild ARMs titles, allowing characters to target an enemy in a waiting state and then deliver their attacks simultaneously with the next ally to attack their target. If the player succeeds in executing an uninterrupted series of commands, the damage inflicted upon enemies will increase significantly. On the other hand, the enemy gets the same advantage.Fantasy

Knights and Merchants: The Shattered KingdomKnights and Merchants recreates the era of the Middle Ages. Apart from the purely fictitious geography of our world, all game elements and scenes are based on the Anglo-Saxon period, 1200 A.D. And we haven't used imaginary elements like fabled creatures, either. The player takes on the role of an ordinary captain in the Palace Guard. A conspiracy against the king catapults the captain into a situation where he finds himself responsible for the defence of the last royal province. This is all that remains of the shattered kingdom, which has been split into numerous small principalities and fiefdoms. And now even the king himself, ensconced in his capital, is threatened by enemy armies. This is the starting point of your Middle Ages adventure. Now you must win back all those provinces which once belonged to your king.Historical
