FarCry was the first game I bought on DVD. Actually I remember it arriving, opening the package, spotting the "DVD" in the top corner and saying "****", then going out to buy a DVD drive!
the only turn based game ive found enjoyable over the years was battle isle 4 ... and that was only fun in multiplayer
all otheres are just painfully slow
Don't have a clue?
ISO's started to appear after people wanted to copy gamedata and make a FAKE CD Drive to run it from (Daemon Tools), I don't understand why such a 'legit' company would use ISO's to dish out their classic game
I'm onto level 7 in C&C - loving it. I wish they'd managed to improve on it. Sadly, none of the sequals (or prequals) matched the original C&C in my opinion. That 3D one by another developer (that I've temporarily forgotten the name of, but I think it began with a T) was quite good, but didn't have the soul and attention of C&C.
oh for christs sake at least try to inform yourself if youre completely clueless
an iso is just the exact 1:1 copy of what youll find on a data only cd and it has nothing to do with the scene ... in fact scene rules state quite clearly that isos are not allwed as a format for distribution of cds
ISO was a legitimate disc standard long before people using it for pirate games. It just makes it far easier to burn it to a disk, which is what this is meant to be done for this game.
I remember doing almost the same thing. Except I didn't have the DVD drive so I returned the damn thing. I noticed home that it said DVD somewhere on the box so I didn't (luckily) unwrap the plastics...
Then I tried the demo and found out that I didn't even like it .

I think the C&C Red alert is the best CC ever made. Although I must admit that I play the Tiberian sun (red alert sequel?) sometimes and never really the other CCs.
I think CCs are at best when played in skirmish mode against all other AIs on large map with quite limited funds. The skirmish games take many hours to finish and are quite exciting in the early stages when you really need to plan your moves. Even if it is mostly about destroying gun turrets with straightforward attack, sending shitloads of engineers in the base using another route and finishing it off with rest of the combat units. It is quite fun... Although after half ways it can get quite boring as the AI has no clue how to build a big base or big army. It is just killing them one by one which is kinda boring... All the CC games, except the two first ones are imho very average games but can be fun in small doses. Like once in few months or so
you should really try mp then its especially interesting if you start out with a no attack rule for the first couple of minutes until youve reached a cold war situation where the slightest bit of aggression leads to an hour long battle
It most definitely does... you may have to fiddle around a bit, or break out VDMSound to get the sound to work properly.
@BlueFlame: Remember, Wikipedia is your friend. The most astonishing thing I find is that the International Standards Organisation would approve a format... just for 'crackers'... So kind of them.
