Let me preface- this isn't a good game, I do not recommend you pick this up if you're looking for a new experience.
So why recommend it all? It's enjoyable nostalgia, and OW community did a really good job to keep the game playable and even bringing a little extra too it with achievements.
The games graphics held up very well over time. You'll want a program like lossless scaling to resize it to a modern monitor.
The music is alright, all two tracks of it.
It has a lengthy campaign.
It introduced a lot of cool concepts for its time, and I feel like it is the uncredited grandfather of a lot of games we enjoy.
Original War mostly died due to poor advertising and a competition of Warcraft III for the RTS sector.
No co-op, multiplayer is a PvP skirmish that you'll probably just club each other to death in rather than build anything.
