When you know so many people that have played this game for a year or more its worth $100 dollars, throw in the Core Contingency and Battle Tactics and you have the best games bargain ever invented the only sad thing is that so many people bought this cgame because it rocks that not many can take advantage of this fabulous deal! I know players who wanted to buy it again just because the Commander Pack is so cool!

I'm not proud of it at all, but my life seemed to revolve around this game for about two years. I'm sure you could have just as much fun without being obsessed though. It just has so much re-playablility.

Well it is really simple if you have any skill whatsoever and like real time stragity type games this is the best game.
No other game has ever given the options, and types of units this one has. It is nothing less than shameless that now, more than 4 years after this games release, no company has come out with a game that even comes close to this in any aspect. Also with this kind of price for the whole set, it is a steal. Get it you wont be dissapointed!!...

Excellent game, but not worth the money

Total Annihilation is one of the best games ever, and the Commander Pack is a supposed to be a bargain deal for those who do not yet own the game. This game worth no more than ten dollars. So don't pay the ridiculous amounts that the third party dealers are offering for used and new copies of this game. If a game is a rare classic, that does not automatically make it a collector's item. You don't see people demanding hundreds of dollars for unopened copies of Super Mario Brothers 3. Do you?
So don't get tempted into wasting tons of money on this game (and other out-of-print computer game classics) when you clearly have other options. Look for an online auction if you know what I mean. You will find much cheaper prices there.

Great game

This is simply the best game that I have ever played. Two sides, and more units total than all of starcraft combined. Very, very easy to mod. The sheer bulk of... stuff that can be downloaded for it... There are more total conversions than I can count one one hand(A total conversion removes all old units and replaces them.) The bulk of individual units that can be downloaded for it is ridiculous. The biggest problem with the modding is that there is a limit of 512 different units that can be added to each side. Maps can be pulled as well. They are huge. Up and past 40X40 screens. Don't buy it here, hit ebay. 99$ for an eight year old game?

Total annihilation is one of my favorite games, and this pack expands the play even further. If your still playing without all the great units of Core Contingency and/or Battle Tatics, BUY THIS!

T.A. - The greatest RTS for 8 years running!

I've owned a copy of the original T.A. almost since it's release in late 97. At first glance it's nothing special but then again that's what I said when I first got a copy for Christmas in 98. I've been playing solidy ever since and loving every minute of it. Sadly Cavedog Interactive (the company that made T.A.) went under at the turn of the milennium. Thus finding a copy of the game is increasingly difficult. If anyone can get their hands on a copy then I say go for the gusto and look for all the extras that Cavedog and the Boneyards left scattered around online. There's a downloadable map, mission, and unit editor. I've seen countless map packs and unit packs online. There's no end to the fun with this game! The campaign mode and storyline is solid. I can't stop with the praise for this game. Grab a copy and start playing.

The first game I ever owned...

I bought this game in 1999, before my pc was actually delivered to my door, I have been playing it ever since! The single player is great, but buy this game for the multiplayer!

The greatest thing about Total Annihilation is the ability to download new maps and units. There are literally thousands out there. There are also many, many packs called Total Conversions, which rplace every unit in the game with new onces like all Star Wars units, World War II, or Modern tanks and aircraft. These packs change everything about the game accept the gameplay. So you never really get bored with the game. The music is great and always seems to kick in and give you a rush of sound before a battle.

I do sell these here on Amazon, because I think it is such a great game to play. It is rare, but so worth the money. I only sell games I love, and this one is the number one on my list.

You gotta play it!

Even though the games on this pack are not the newest (Total Annihilation is from 1997), they are real good. In addition to the original TA, you have now plenty of new units and new phases to choose to play. However, if you are a new player you may feel confused due to all the options and units, but don't feel discouraged, because this game is really exciting!!! The explosions are amazing, it makes you feel in the middle of the battle; the game is not one of those where you play half-hour and already finish it, because in each level you must think about your strategies, e.g. where to put the factories to make your units, when to attack the enemy, where is the enemy weak point, where are the places more suitable to put your defensive units. Therefore, buy this game as soon as you can!!!!

Great Game. Battle Tactics Correction

Battle Tactics, the second expansion pack of the game (not a separate version) is a missions expansion pack featuring a LOT of stand-alone, separate missions (in other words, not part of a larger story). The missions are split into three (if I remember correctly) categories based on approximate time needed to complete them. Not all the missions are short.

I played Total Annihilation (and its expansion packs) for approximately 3 years. One of my favorite games of all time. A classic that any fan of RTS games will enjoy.

There is STILL an active community online, and many, many user-made mods and extra units.
