I played this a ton growing up. I got it in the discount bin section at Walmart during Christmas and had an absolute blast. It is one of my favorite RTSs from the early 2000s and deserves to be remembered.
I remember seeing this game on Youtube and immediately knew that I'd love it, and I was right.
What was really enjoyable about it was that I could create armies of tanks and just plow through missions. The missions themselves were really unique too. From the battles on Europe's beaches, to cold winters in Russia, to the island hopping in the Pacific theater. They also had an option where you could play as the Axis and it would take on an alternate history tilt which I thought was really cool as well.
I genuinely hope that GOG adds the game here because the original is in 32 bits which makes it unplayable unfortunately. I will buy it the first chance I get if they do.
Axis & Allies has been my childhood game since I was in 3rd (or forth) Grade. Played it over at least +2000 hours or more. Played the game in a very basic manner, didn't use or understand most mechanics and always used cheats. When I was in high school, I began to play the game more seriously, like no longer using cheats and using the supply line mechanic as intended. (My god do I love the supply mechanic in this game!) Once I got a new laptop around 2023, Axis & Allies couldn’t run on Windows 11, and there was no help online to get it to work. I eventually gave up, believing my confort game was unplayable on modern hardware. Fortunately, last week I was able to get the game running by changing the display mode to integrated graphics in order to run on Windows 11. Game worked fine and made me happy. However, I had to play on a low resolution as the higher resolutions missed up the fonts. If GOG could sell the game again and make patches for it, It would be amazing if this game get played by today's RTS players!
I along with the games like mech commander 2, and railroad tycoon 3 remember playing this gave very fondly as a kid. still do. sometimes even having the main menu just sit and watch as the tanks and troops and planes flying over head with the menu music playing was soothing and the gameplay was absolutely awesome. would love to see this gem of a game make a return on gog.
