Free Command and Conquor

[Caradinist]

Fuck me. Now Tiberian Sun AND Firestorm are free?

Well, it's been ten years, so hey, not bad.

Grr...

All that time and its not compatible with Vista...

Edit: At least, for me. You guys try it anyways.

I made a note of this issue in the first post. Sorry to hear you were having trouble man.

Have any other Vista users had any luck?

 

[PDizzle418]

oh man those games are classics among my favorite of all time

I just wish they hadn't brutally murdered the red alert franchise and then proceded to rape it's corpse repeatedly

they've sort of managed to keep the tiberium wars playbale atleast

Cheers for the heads up about Tiberian Sun and Firestorm.

Does multiplayer work?

Curious, is there any(real) difference between which download to take?

 

[chozo_hybrid]

Oh man, I loved Red Alert on the PS1.

Now I can play it again! AHAHAHAHAHA!

But this 2 hour download time worries me...

Edit: WTF? 5 hours now?!

It only took me a few minutes the other day, but I got in as soon as it was announced, maybe there's a lot of people grabbing it.

I'm on vista and it works fine, although mines prof not home. Would that affect it? They did have a link to a patch that helps though.

Not sure personally. I'm running things on XP at the moment and they run just fine. Somebody further up in the thread was having trouble though. Hopefully they found the link to the patch.

Looks like there is a main page news story on this now, so my work here is done. Everyone enjoy!

Those of you doing C&C (Gold, presumably): there's an unofficial patch [http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/] that you might want to get that fixes some bugs, and lets you run it in high resolution.

I dislike CnC's approach to RTS. It was never one of those games that you could take slowly, you had to constantly be doing something or you fall behind and 2 minutes later rushed by hundreds of everything. Then again I am just kinda bad at it..

Have you played Starcraft? I can assure you that it beats the living crap out of C&C as far as the progress stress goes!

Ohhhh yea I have played star craft. I dont think there is an RTS out there I havnt dabbled in. And yes I am awful at Starcraft too. I much prefer slower paced ones that let me think things out and use tactics. Regardless I am very much enjoying these old CnC. One of those games I know everyone has played yet I havnt yet so it has been a fun experiance.

I still suck at it...

Yeah, that patch is awesome, seeing a third of a huge map in one screen is great.

So what do you play? Civilization? Fire Emblem? I'm curios, I could use a slower paced one for when I'm in that mood.

 

[Plurralbles]

I wanna know one thing... why the hell is it a ten step process to get it installed?

Was it too much to ask for something NOT to be difficult?

Lately for RTS I have been playing Supreme Commander. Which is also a pretty good example of the pace I like. I do occasionally have a long session of Total War. Older RTS probably Homeworld series (mostly HW2 because I have a hell of a time getting the first two to work). Hmm those are probably mostly my favorites.

Civilization is one of those games I just never got around to exploring. Perhaps sometime in the future I might have to give it a look. And Fire Emblem I have heard the name but know nothing about it.
