Meh. The theme song is the best thing about those games.

If you like the fast action Act of War and World In Conflict are better. If you want real strategy you need Empire Earth 2 or Rise of Nations.

Ha, well I don't agree but that was still an amusing thing to say. I do like the theme song.

Red Alert 1 was my first RTS back when I was 15. I may have briefly played a few minutes of WarCraft 2 before that but I'm not sure... I loved Red Alert 1.

I got some fun out of Red Alert 2 and 3 also. They've all been fairly enjoyable and good fun. Not fantastic... not good in the same way StarCraft 1 and 2, Age of Empires 1, and yes World in Conflict are. But good in their way.

I love AOE 2 and Age of Mythology. And Dawn of War 1. I am not a huge fan of Starcraft 1 or 2, but I did play them. Actually my overall favorite is TA Kingdoms and I like Supreme Commander a lot.
I really loved Empire Earth but only for the campaigns. The AI cheats like a bastard in skirmish.


Is there a way to get a super collectors pack of all the old C&C games? Could probably save you some money.

I just tried this and it was fun to be back in Red Alert 1 after all these years, last time I played it may have been 1996 or so.

C&C games were good for their time...but the age badly.

I started with Dune 2000 on the AMIGA...the first RTS game ever!

Why do I need this? C&C/RA are free shareware now. Does thus CNCnet stuff add anything?

StarCraft 1 aged better, as did TA.

OpenRA is great as well, we play it at LAN parties.

KaaChing!

 

[clamum]

Haha that is great! I think Red Alert 2 is quite a bit better than Red Alert but oh well. Might have to check this out later.

Tiberian Sun is going to be great to play again. I think I probably still got it.
