Total Annihilation (abbr. TA) is a critically-acclaimed real-time strategy game created by Cavedog Entertainment and released on 30 September 1997 by GT Interactive for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. It was the first RTS game to feature 3D units and terrain. Two expansion packs were released, The Core Contingency on April 30, 1998 and Battle Tactics on June 30, 1998. Lead designer Chris Taylor went on, through Gas Powered Games, to create Supreme Commander; popularly considered the "spiritual successor" of Total Annihilation. A remake of the game with a completely 3D graphics engine (lacking any fixed camera angle), named Spring, has also been independently produced. (via Wikipedia)
