I played this a handful of years back, and I was surprised by how well it holds up. In other areas, it super doesn’t hold up. It’s got all of the presentation you’d expect from a modern action game with all of the jank that came along with ancient PC games, and it was charming for it. One song during a scene transition came off as anachronistic, and it’s because it was! They had to change out a few of the songs due to licenses expiring, and the song they picked as a replacement postdated the game’s original release, which was super jarring in a fun way I’d never experienced before.

Title is inaccurate, it was not released as open source software, it was released as Free software. This shit’s GPL3!

Is this just Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis but with a different name (and remastered)?
