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.

Man, that game allows to edit maps. And campaign maps also could be edited. I remember I camouflaged fully armed tank in a second campaign mission and told my brother that this is a hidden secret. He was so happy lol He has completed the campaign though!
Those games also need your vote!
