Title: Ground Control...Withstanding the test of time
Post by: Jarhead0331 on October 24, 2018, 08:32:47 PM
I don't know why, but I had the random urge to re-install Ground Control today. Its been over a decade probably since I last played it.

Anyway, it still looks pretty good and it is such a highly polished game that it holds up exceedingly well. I absolutely loved this game when it came out...I played it to death. So far, its bringing back the same joy. Its presently $4.99 on steam or $5.99 on GoG and it runs great on my Win10 system.

Boy, they just don't make 'em like this anymore...

I played it a lot back in the day, and, like JH, I've been tempted to try and get it back on - it was/is an excellent game.

I actually played this a couple years ago and it's still fanatic. As well as GC2. I love when I finally get by air support

GC1 was an amazing gem in its day.
I finished it and the expansion (Dark Conspiracy), and even played the Multiplayer mode a bit.

GC2 on the other hand disappointed me.
