www.ea.com/redalert/news-detail.jsp?id=62Yeah, it's a great classic title. I'm pretty sure any of your cracker boxes can play this thirteen year old game. Give it a try, it's free and worth a play through just to see the cheesiness of the FMV.

Wow, that shit takes me back.
Back in the day, I remember the original C&C being about my favorite game for the personal computer. I was addicted as hell...I played for hours and hours, and I beat the game with GDI, but for some reason could never do it as NOD. I used to get a visceral thrill out of storming the enemy base with an APC full of engineers, taking over their buildings, and selling them.
Red Alert, I used to 'own' in the sense that I borrowed it from my friend and only grudgingly ever gave it back. This oughta be fun when I have some spare time.

I hope the specs on the newest game are reasonable, because I'd love to take a crack at it. It's a great throwback series. It's really the only strategy games I could ever stomach.

Hooray thanks JJ, I've always kinda wanted to try the series but never really wanted to pay for it because I suck at it or the game sucks.

I actually personally can't run Red Alert because I'm begrudgingly running Vista unless I find a work around that they hint exists on the website. I'll figure it out soon though

Finally got the game to install.
Are there any differences in the CD's?
I lied can't start the game up now.
Now I got it working didn't install the patch the only bad thing is the game doesn't look right it looks all grainy and such during the opening and throughout the game.
