Has it been optimised for modern operating systems? Is there wide screen support?

Awesome, been looking to pick this up cheap for a while

Posted in the gaming deals thread, but definitely deserves a thread of its own

Awesome

I think I still have the disk here somewhere. Handy to have it on Origin though.

Fond memories of Desert Combat

They have pretty much given that away in the Steam sales previously.

KIA · 5 Nov 2012 at 18:22

It hasn't been updated for modern systems. Uninstalled!

I knew it was too good to be true.

What did you suspect? Its pretty amazing that EA are giving away a game.

If they updated it for modern systems they'd be charging you £15 minimum.

If you can't be bothered to do that, maybe there's a PlayStation game that would suit your needs better?

Guys, just a reminder that you'' ll find it at the DEMOS section, not @ the free games one! But it's not a demo, at least not AFAIK...
Does it have expansions?
Are the expansions included?

No expansions included, and theyre not even sure if expansions will work with this origin based version.
