lol at snood that game has distracted me from many an essay
.
But yeah TA was amazing back in the day. It wiped the floor with the C&C game which was out at that time (Tiberian Sun I think - though thats not hard). You could also like salvage the debris of your defeated enemies or your own destroyed tanks and stuff. And as RDD said the support was amazing new units and maps were released like every week I think
. It introduced alot of new cool ideas to RTS.
