For anybody lazy and wondering about compatibility like I was:

Thanks largely to the efforts of our loyal fans whom continue to sustain and grow the Command & Conquer community, Command & Conquer has become a legendary franchise and it?s time to celebrate its birth once again.

In order to give back to the fans for over 12 years of devotion we are putting together a 12th Anniversary celebration during the month of September. However, as any Command & Conquer fan knows, the true party starts today, August 31st, which marks 12 years since Command & Conquer Gold launched way back in 1995.

To kick the celebration off, today we have a special surprise which we are certain new and old Command & Conquer fans will enjoy. We are providing the original Command & Conquer Gold as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade, and is now available for you to download for free!

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE DOWNLOAD:

We are providing the ISO image of C&C GOLD for both the GDI and Nod discs. In order for C&C GOLD to run on Windows XP, you will need to burn the ISO image onto a CD with a CD Burner and any "CD Burning Software" such as Nero, Alcohol, etc. There are also a few extra steps in order to make C&C GOLD run on Windows XP after you burn it to CD. Please click the link below for the exact instructions after you download both files!

Good find, OP.

The intro movie in this is simply classic. I especially like the motor oil drinking guy on one of the channels.

The DL speeds for those ISOs aren't exactly great, I've barely getting 25KB/s on them. I'd get several times that from BT sites.

 

[Coalfax]

geez.. anyone have a mirror of these? The Download speed is, well, abhorrent

 

[cheetoden]

Yea, its gotten pretty slow. Last night before bed I was getting 80 kb/sec and now this morning its a little over 7 kb/sec.

Looking at the comments about speed i am wondering why they didnt torrent this thing?

Same here. This game was ground breaking back in its day.

 

[Cogman]

there is an unofficial torrent. I figure if the game has been released for free this must be legal. (currently tormenting, getting really good speeds as well)

Excellent, too bad I already bought "The First Decade" last year.
