Some old-school favs.

There hasn’t been a lot of good news out of EA lately, but here’s some: the company just launched a bunch of classic games on Steam. The new (old) releases include nine games in total, spanning franchises like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, and SimCity.

Here’s the full list:

Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection

SimCity 3000 Unlimited

Populous

Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods

Populous: The Beginning

Dungeon Keeper Gold

Dungeon Keeper 2

Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack

The Saboteur

    EA’s launcher still requires internet access though, right? If so, you’re probably better off sticking to the GOG versions. I booted up Jedi: Fallen Order on a train, and EA told me “no”.

        Maybe not. The disclaimers on the side of the store page appear to be different between these and some other EA games. I hate how hard it is these days to discern if a game has a stupid always-online requirement.

          the disclaimer on the side is if you subscribe to that ea subscription thing that gives you their games for 5 dollars a month, I think.

          it is confusing how they ahve it set up, though.

      That is so fucking annoying. How they gonna say you can’t play a game that you bought.

      Ffs.

      I was having similar issues with Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam. Like RDR2 is still a great game but that DRM bullshit can go fuck itself.

        Just FYI, it generally seems that none of these require origin or the EA app or any more than Steam as DRM.

      I don’t know about these newly added games but I can launch Sim City 4 from Steam without Origin.
