Total Annihilation

+gamma lets you adjust the brightness of the screen "+gamma 8.5" was default for the old tube monitors... you can play around with this if you have lighting issues.

These dont really break gameplay and fully function in all gamemodes, so enabling cheats to use these functions is ok if you agree with your gamemates that they can be used.

Its important to note *though steam failed to mention it in the product details* This edition includes all DLC along with the main game (Original Total Annihilation, Core contengency Expansion, All of the Battle Tactics Expansions, Bonus Maps, Bonus Official Cavedog Units, Patch 3.1 known as the "No CD Patch" Patch 3.1 also is tweaked with the expanded unit cap which can be modified in the system files to a maximum of 5000 units per player in a 10 player battle. updated and fully supported multiplayer hosting for matches complete with thier own communities...

The campaign mode introduces the lore through a series of challenging missions that build in complexity, but the real strength of the game lies in its sandbox-style skirmish and multiplayer battles, where its systems are allowed to flourish without constraint.

A standout feature that still garners praise is the game’s soundtrack, composed by Jeremy Soule.

a neat feature on the main menu is to type "dxdeath" which will enable or disable a Cavedog logo in the lower middle of the menuscreen. if you click that... in the old days it would allow you to view the credit screen... also while enabled it would allow you to manually pick missions rather then unlocking missions as you played.
