Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!
Today Relic is perhaps better known for their pseudo-tactical, squad-based RTS games franchises Company of Heroes and Dawn of War. However, back before 2004, they were known for a very different type of game. The franchise in question was the much beloved Homeworld, the first RTS to ever offer full 3D movement. We're talking moving in all three planes. With gameplay innovation, an excellently penned backstory, and art design that still impresses, Homeworld is an RTS classic on par with Starcraft or Total Annihilation. While it may be a little harder to find, it's worth every penny, and is a must play for RTS fans of all shapes and sizes.

I've only really played homeworld 2 and it was great! The difficulty in the campaign was too high in my opinion, however everyone seems to say that the original homeworld is better, either way they are the best 3D rts's out there.
Hope homeworld 3 does get made someday!Posted at 6:42AM on Jul 20th 2009 by James
