    Pro: easy to install but you need the original CD/DVD. Some cheats you can use, for having a good time after working Good graphics, modern resolutions Con: Till now I as not able to play the Funpark missions. Playing as and against dinosaurs.

    Overall I recommend OpenRA. But I also own the Originals.
