Hi; the other day at work some stuff wasn't going right and for some reason, the words "Damn it to hell!" ran through my head over and over and it took me a few days but I totally figured it out, and remembered it was the Schwarzenegger-sounding merc from JA2, and now I have a hankering to play this classic again.
I dug up my old dusty CDs (looks like it's not "Gold", and when I installed it and ran it it says it's version 1.03).
I tried doing some research on these forums about which mods/patches/etc. I should be using, but honestly it's a little overwhelming; apparently there have been eighty thousand mods since I last played this game.
I was just wondering if anybody could recommend a patch/mod list that I should install that would give me a classic "what I remember from 10 years ago" kind of experience, but maybe with annoying stuff cleaned up, or better graphics, higher resolution, any overpowered/unfair stuff fixed, difficulty level tweaked, whatever. I never finished it the first time around, so I don't need new missions, etc.. I vaguely remember having an awesome but sometimes frustrating experience the first time around. Like it felt fine most of the time, but occasionally out of the blue something would totally destroy me in a way that seemed unfair (killed by impossible shot... and I think I got fed up and quit at some palace getting mauled by jaguars over and over again or something).
I see some people like 1.13, some people like 1.07, and there all these named mods (or total conversions?) like Wildfire around. What should I get?
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the replies. I did some more forum browsing and was torn between 1.12 (official patch?) and the 1.13, but ultimately decided to go with 1.13. Honestly, I'm a little overwhelmed with all the extra stuff (I'm not a super hardcore sim kind of guy)... it was complicated enough as it was without all these pockets and vests and weapon attachments and double the kinds of ammo, etc., etc.!
But in general, wow, super respect to all the guys that worked on it. Incredible; even more incredible that it's a fan mod. The increased resolution is making my eyes bleed a little less and there are a lot of other great things. Super awesome. Yeah, I don't really know what the NCTH thing is, but I left it on for fun. I guess I have some research to do. New inventory is a bit much, and will take some time to get used to (can't climb walls with a backpack on?), but too late to switch now - just liberated Drassen, and having some serious nostalgia flashbacks. Love it.
Thanks,
