What players say

This was one of my childhood favorites, seeing it get fixed by Lootmax Games is phenomenal! Bring Axis & Allies from TimeGate Studios to Steam as well!!!

A blast from the past. I have waited a long time to be able to buy this since it was unavailable. Amazing game and plays just as good as I remember it from years ago. I highly recommend it. One of the better and more unique RTS games of the time.

Good luck getting this to work with Steam. Played it for years - then one day, won't load - ever.
