Hmmm....so it may be a bit iffy. For what they are worth, I'll try reading some reviews, though I would much rather play a demo [if there was one].
No comment on Dark Reign, I see.

I liked the demo but back then it had 2 resolution settings. 640x480 and the next was 1280x960 which was well beyond the capabilities of my screen. Think it was best described as Final Fantasy for PC using the quake 2 engine.

Did you notice the free games that have been added? Dragonsphere and Ultima IV.

Ultima IV was a recent addition to the list...
Dragonsphere has been there a while... good time-waster but i struggled to play a stable game on Win7 so ended up running it in a vm...
they've also just added TAG, which the niece seems to enjoy...
