Multiplayer without GenTool unplayable.

It's C&C generals. What more can I say. Still my favorite rts.

Command and Conquer Generals is one of my favorite games. I’ve played it on and off since I was a kid. It makes me so happy to see it on Steam and to get to play it again.

However, unless you get the collection on sale, this deal isn’t really worth it. It seems like it’s a relatively low effort port. The annoying compatibility issues right off the bat are a pain but I can look past them given the age of the game. What I can’t get past is how this 20+ year old game runs like a grandma with a hip replacement. My old Windows XP computer ran this game better with its 512MB of RAM. I feel like I could get better performance by running a VM and just playing the old game.

Am I still going to play it? Sure. It’s convenient and I don’t have another copy of the game lying around anymore. But if you have the option, look elsewhere.
