Total Annihilation

I disagree about it being the best RTS game ever made, people should go look at Company of Heroes for pure RTS
TA is just about whoever has the best micro and the most units with an ounce of strategic gameplay....which makes the game awesome don't get me wrong, but surely not THE best?
Anyway it's probably one of the better games even now over LAN because of the madness that goes with hundreds of units.
Other LAN games to play would be Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - terrorist hunt (seriously awesome) and C&C Generals. Can't think of anything else other than what's been mentioned already, hmm...

Less fun, though. LAN parties go well with altered mental states, especially frantic games like TA or UT insta-gib. Rollcage for PSX was the best game to play while incapacitated, though.
Yea, the EMG had some unexpected side effect of almost paralysing the target when enough was used so they banned flash rushes

EMG was limited unofficially by the players who set the lobbys and rules.
Their excuse usually was "it lags to much". Its true EMG did lag more than other units in the 56k days, but not suprisingly it was the people who put limits on the units that where also dog**** at playing the game
The game was dependent on having good micro but it also had just as much strategy involved than anyother RTS i have played if not more.

Spring actually is TA if you play the BA mod it has all the same units and works in the same way its just an updated 3d engine.
There is also other mods using the engine with new units and new tactics and i would highly recommend it to anyone who misses the original.

I'm still trying to beat the Krogoth encounter >.<
I beat it when it first came out but now I just keep getting owned! It's all the fault of one of the mods I'm running which makes the krogoth more on par with the Karganeth... ouchie
Lan party:
TA, CPMA, UT
spider tank + commander to capture them and build abit of AA at the start and the rest is a long slog of a mop up operation
Oh didn't realise the Spider could stun it... that would be a big help.

You need quite a few but after you got your first liberated Krogoth things get much easier ,
