Free Download of Red Alert: Command and Conquer Game

[Capitalizt]

If you go to http://www.redalert3.com on Sunday, you can download your very own copy of the original Red Alert, absolutely free.

If you pre-order RE3 from the site you can get a free copy of Red Alert 2, plus some extra RE3 goodies including desktop wallpapers (featuring Atkinson, McCarthy, Hu, et al) an series retrospective and an exclusive multiplayer map.

Thanks OP.
Not my favorite type of games, but free is a very good price 🙂

The download page says that you may have to mess with it to run under Vista. Good thing I still run XP 😛

Aww...well, I'll download it here and then burn them onto a DVD to play on my XP computer. Thanks OP.

Lots of these old games are still fun when the mood strikes you. Free is good, nice legal iso's even better.

For the Vista users, like myself - this is what I did to get this great freebie to work:

1. Extract the downloaded .rar to a folder and mount the ISO image in Alcohol 52%.
2. Open the disk on the mounted drive and find SETUP.EXE and apply Windows95 compatibility
to that file.
3. Click and run SETUP.EXE - install the game to the default directory - skip
the directx install and the westwood program - and allow the install to finish.
4. Reopen the folder you extracted the .rar to and find the XP_Patch folder - open
it and double-click on the RA108USP.EXE to extract three files named PATCH.
5. Copy the three files to WESTWOOD\REDALERT folder and then click on
PATCH.EXE..
6. Last - apply Win95 compatibility to the RA95.EXE in this folder...
7. Play the Game.
