"Command & Conquer" and co.: EA releases classic games on Steam
This makes strategy gamers' hearts beat faster. You can now enjoy numerous retro games such as "Dungeon Keeper" and "SimCity 3000 Unlimited" from publisher Electronic Arts on the Steam gaming platform.
"Command & Conquer", "Dungeon Keeper", "Populous": these are true gaming classics. EA has just re-released many of these older games on Steam. The publisher, as you may know, returned to Valve's gaming platform in 2019. Before that, EA released its games exclusively on its own Origin client for many years. Origin has since been replaced by the EA app and the company has started to gradually add its games to Steam.
Fans of these classics can now buy digital versions of the games without having to use the Origin client or the EA app. This could be an interesting release for Steam Deck owners in particular. Here is the full list of titles that are now available on Steam:
- "Command & Conquer: The Ultimate Collection" (with a total of 17 games and expansions)
- "Dungeon Keeper Gold"
- "Dungeon Keeper 2"
- "Populous"
- "Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods"
- "Populous: The Beginning"
- "Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Planetary Pack"
- "SimCity 3000 Unlimited"
- "The Saboteur"
It is currently not known if and when further retro games such as "Theme Hospital" will follow. Numerous classic games from EA are also available via the GOG gaming platform. The platform from publisher Projekt Red has set itself the goal of making older games playable on current systems.
