		fho on June 2, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Favourite open source game? Spring is an amazing engine! It's been a while, but we used to have regular sessions of Balanced Annihilation (BA) decades after TA came out. I don't know if more recent RTS games improved in that, but Springs UI was way ahead of other RTSs at the time. Without going into detail, BA had very tense gameplay without getting too bogged down by micro managing units.

Beyond All Reason descends from BA, and has absolutely magnificent graphics.

The spring engine and community around it really is amazing, it has been around for such a long time and games on it like BAR are just plain damn good rts games.
