I had completely forgotten about this game. It's part of NDS and Tommo's new Retroism brand. I thought this was another of those in legal limbo games. Does that mean that WW2GI, Powerslave, Legend of the Seven Paladins, and Extreme Paintbrawl are next? 😁

Ah! Awesome! I remember seeing NAM and WW2GI in the electronics department of my local Fred Meyers. Always wanted them but never got them.

A year or so ago I picked up the original release of NAM, when it was still called NAPALM. Couldn't find WW2GI though. Hopefully it does make it to Steam!

Hindsight 20/20 or something. At least these games now have a new audience on steam. I didnt play them back then, I only found about them like around 2008 when researching all the build engine games. It was a budget title when it came out. Kinda amazing a build engine game released when games were already 3d made on win9x.

Heh, I ALREADY HAVE my PURCHASED CD DOS versions of both NAM and World War II GI 😀

What cracks me up about the Steam-ing-POS release, the recommended system requirements:

OS: Windows 7
Processor: 1.5 GHz Processor
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Graphics: 100% DirectX compatible graphics
Hard Drive: 100 MB available space
Sound Card: 100% DirectX compatible card or onboard sound

...funny how the game(s) ran FLAWLESSLY on my old Intel 486DX4-100 PC with only a measly 64MB RAM -> http://jasonwilliams400com.startlogic.com/sno … _486DX4-100.htm 😀

Hehe, a WW2GI screenie for ya -> http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedet … ls/?id=61547217 😀

Lol Figures! If they had released this for sale in the 2000's I would have probably bought it but since then I have found copies of both at my local goodwill.

Check me out at Transcendental Airwaves on Youtube! Fast-food sucks!

well, i guess the system requirements have to resemble what most people these days have. they cant put a 486DX4 with dos 6.22 at minimum requirements. 😀
