Poll: Who still plays with stock Microprose game? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I am not trying here to knock modified games, or those bootlegged for free off the net. Wonderdogs MDL game was fun to try, as well as Markusfs unit mods.

But I play with a stock Microprose CD, and patch only.

WHO ELSE DOES?

Or at least who else has one available to play from in addition to whatever mod stuff they may have?

Gee... I ONLY play with the stock CD and the latest patch. Most people I know do the same... (I think )

My computer has only what came on the CD and the patch.

I'm tempted to add the improved unit graphics, though. They look pretty good.

Put an end to popups!

I installed the H-res pack from the Apol db and they look great but just like the ToT graphics (which are completely different) I couldn't 'see' the game properly so I took them out.
You can't beat the original graphics for clarity which enables you to relax and concentrate on game play

That's a shame. Is it that the new graphics are larger and block out the terrain? What is it that causes the problem? I'm not sure that I would be able to remove them once downloaded, so I would have to feel safe about it first.

Tired of ads?

i've downloaded quite a few scenarios and have customized my rules.txt and units.gif. but i still have all the original files safely tucked away in their own folder.

also i don't host with my altered rules.txt (which happens to have added modern techs and alterations to modern units)

I too only play with the standard cd and latest patch. However, I DID try Deity's scenario with him.. although Ian, it's soo confusing!
