I tend to like old games, and I also tend to have old computers that don't usually handle the bleeding-edge stuff very well. [8D]

I see the old FPG pop up on ebay from time to time. Question is, since I have the Germany Reforged expansion, is it worth picking up the original game as well? Or would it just frustrate me as a more primitive version of the current FPCRS since the scenarios have been ported up?

FPCRS works fine (except for a bit of a screen resolution issue), I'd just be curious to try out the predecessor as well.

FPG is a good game, but it is very different in many ways to what Red Storm is. With GR you have the jist of all the scenarios while running on a better game engine. In the end, it is your call, both games are enjoyable.
