There's a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that's refreshing.

Also discovered a few mods like Shockwave that I wanna try.

Still one of my favorite games to play every now and then. Great modding scene too.

what mods do you like? There's a bunch but I don't know what's good!

Rise of the Reds is my favorite, but Shockwave and Contra are also pretty good. Only issue I have is the performance takes a hit since the game is so heavily single threaded and the game logic is tied to the frame rate. Luckily there are a couple projects trying to alleviate that but they’re a long way from being ready. OpenSage and Thyme specifically. GenLauncher is helpful for trying out the different mods at least.

I usually end up just playing Zero Hour with a few GenTool modifications though.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
