Battlefront.com Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Well, that didn't take long They just went live this morning and yes, totally legit. We've been working on this deal with them for some time now. It's something we haven't done with anybody in a long time so we're interested to see how things go.

ratdeath Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Awesome, GOG is great for good old games. Hope to see CM2 there in 10 years or so when we all play CM3 and wish for the not so old days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Zaitzev Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I hope this paves the way for the games to be in more digital platforms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind taking Afrika Korps for a spin and see how the old game engine works. However since these games are so old I wonder how/if they work with Windows 10 etc? Has anyone bought these titles from GOG and did the games load and run correctly on Windows 10 & newer PCs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatRadish Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thank you to Battlefront for doing/allowing this. I've still got full installs from discs but should I ever need these then it's great that they are out there and I hope there is something of a CMx1 renaissance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 and only $5.39 USD. wow, I gotta try this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The reasons for not putting our current games onto other sales platforms still remains. Sales would have to increase by a factor of 2 to break even. We're not confident that is the likely outcome. The older Gagmes, which (for now) we aren't even selling on our own site, aren't much of a risk for us Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks Steve, I had these games way back when but never got good at them. Great to have a second chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 FYI. If venturing back to the good old days... you may want to try these CMAK and CMBB campaign generators.

Steve I watched a documentary on these guys on Youtube a few months back and a lot of it was about how they had an entire division dedicated to tracking down the rights to old games all over the world. Some times it could take years. Some times rights for parts of the games could be spread all over the friggin' place. I am curious. Did they approach you guys? Or did you contact them? I know CMBO was on there previously and you guys still exist, so I know they at least didn't have to figure out where you were, or who owned the rights. Just interested in who had the idea.

MarkEzra Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Those titles are a part of PC Gaming History. Glad They've found an appropriate museum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Good to see respect for the original CM games. For those who have never enjoyed them, they require less micromanaging and are therefore simpler but more entertaining than the more hardcore/detailed CM2 sim games. Also, in CM1 it's easy to play on huge maps (up to 8 Km x 4 Km in CMAK IIRC) with a regimental sized task force on each side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperbole and subjective projection, stated as fact! He's leading the witnesses! Objection sustained! The jury will dismiss the Prosecution's last remark. One more outburst like that Mr. Erwin and you will be charged with contempt! Blasphemy, like Sodomy, will not be tolerated by this court! Perry Mordson.

I contacted them in January. The first step was getting Strategy First's version off because any agreement we had with them expired a very very very long time ago (use of "verys" intentional). After that was squared away there were some technical issues that we didn't think we'd be able to overcome....but we did. It was a long back and forth journey to get them up. Personal side note.......During this period I re-installed and played all of them more than I have in over a decade. I never got "re-used" to the camera controls, because the CMx2 controls are second nature to me at this point, but the battles were still good fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to play Berli's huge nastiness "To the Volga" again. I have not attempted that in 15 years. Even on my significantly better rig it still struggles. He was a mad man to make that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76mm Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 So are these any different from the versions from this site? I could get my Battlefront version of CMBB to run on Win10, but the resolution was weird. How is resolution with the GOG version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
