Tiberian Sun has just such an immaculate aesthetic. The CGI cutscenes, costumes, props, lighting, the presentation of the user interface...

Okay, the Tiberian Sun track was actually called Killing Machine, but close enough

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is an autistic fixation of mine. I don't play it often and I'm not very good at it, and it's not a very balanced game that, as I understand, was rushed to shit.

But two things:

GOD this game's aesthetic is fucking immaculate. there's something i seriously fell in love with about how this game sells the desolate, alien world that Earth has become in the story in its spritework, lighting and music. the look imho still holds up amazingly today even though it has goofy FMV, and i enjoy the FMV in its own right because of how unapologetically hammy it feels. it's something i think everyone should enjoy at least once. which leads perfectly into...

It's free. https://cnc-comm.com/tiberian-sun/downloads/the-game/installer

Tiberian Sun and its Firestorm expansion have been freeware since 2010 and is updated to be playable comfortably on modern PC firmware, including multiple different choices of renderer in case one doesn't work for you. it'll likely take a bit of finegling to get it to run well and not glitch out (for example, my pause menu likes to disappear when alt-tabbing, if i'm running DDrawCompat in windowed mode), but i think that it's worth it if you enjoy any kind of RTS.

this is by no means a perfect game, but i want to see people enjoy the game whose Vibes remain stuck in my brain like a foot-long rail spike.

Sega Saturn - Command & Conquer

Title: Command & Conquer / コマンド＆コンカー

Developer: Westwood Studios

Publisher: Sega

Release date: 25 April 1997

Catalogue No.: GS-9131

Genre: Real-Time Strategy Simulation

One of the biggest PC games for its time hit the Saturn in a remarkably good conversion. Saturn Command & Conquer comes on two discs, being the GDI (Global Defense Initiative) disc and the NOD (Brotherhood of Nod) disc. So, you can play whatever unit suits you. Unfortunately, I've not had a lot of time to get into this game, so I have no idea how it is to play but going from the reviews it got when it was released back in 1996, I'd say it's a must-buy if you are into these sorts of games. Besides, there's not much else on the Saturn like this.

THE PILE PRESENTS: GameSpot TV - New Year's Special (1/1/00)

With highlights of some excellent games from the previous century, as well as some that should've stayed in the development room!

(4GTV - WATCH NOW!)

I like fiction that's not "society collapsed in one terrible night because of nuclear war/zombies" and more "it's the future and things have slowly gotten crappier but also weirder."
