Since Cavedog, the original publisher of Total Annihilation, closed up shop, obtaining copies of Total Annihilation has been difficult.
While it was overshadowed in popularity by the appeal of more fast paced titles like Starcraft or Command and Conquer, Total Annihilation was quickly adopted by the hardcore set of the RTS gaming community due to its three dimensional landscapes, realistic ballistics modeling, and sheer scope of the maps and units in the game. Total Annihilation has been acclaimed as an innovative and engrossing real time strategy game since its release in the late 1990’s. Total Annihilation: Available For Download
