My favorite part of the game was when I make 5 APCs, fill it with 5 men each, and place said APCs on a water transport. That way when you unload. You get 5 APCs and 25 men in a single transport. Repeat as needed. Then fill more with Mammoth Tanks. lol
Some of the most fun games were the old ones. I think of a game I used to play, search it on YouTube and am always disappointed because I remember the games looking so much better before.
I guess modern games have raised the bar so much that old games look so bad in comparison.
@MrRokNRoll You know, you can just get The First Decade right? It has this, the expansion packs for it, and all the other Command & Conquer games except after Generals, and it doesn't have Sole Survivor either.
Ah... good times man, even this game took skill depending if u were on normal. favorite part was the electric tower that fried the ground units and culd see their skeletons lol!
i completely agree. I never knew there was another command and conquer until tiberian sun came out. And then when i realized it was a whole different universe it got me sucked into playing all c&c games. The following comments i will not make to keep it civil like SLOTG wants.
You can use an old computer that has an operating system DOS (which is obscure by today's standards) or you can use a DOSBox emulator. It emulates all old systems (286, 386, 486 and Pentium).
this game is soo original and thats what makes it so good and i also think that all the new games have made these games harder and ruined the need to play it but the only bad point about this game is that i cant get past a level and that soooooooooooo annoyes me but i love this game and i think its the best game out for pc (well tiberium sun is quite good to) so thanks mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!
same here. I find that any strategy games like stacraft, warcraft, red alert, C&C and all of them are too har don the cnonsoles when you use a controller, i like the mosue with it, and the graphics for strategy games on consoles seem to suck slightly worse then pc.
Loved the rocketeer ship the most. Lovely was the AI in free for all. Sometimes they were fighting on your place agaist each other not hurting you (remember I had 5 kills, all cpus over 50), and by the end all cpu players wanted to kill you not hurting each other.
i really want to play this now... does anyone know how to change xp to windows 95 or whatever it was? i used to know how to do it. Because i cant play it on my comp atm with xp
Red Alert 1 is one of the best rts game ever.My first strategy that i played long time and this new rts games I see are still on those same principle but not the same as good as original..
i have this and i have xp. if u want it to work go to 'explore cd' when the thing comes up (put in soviet cd). Go to the INSTALL folder and double click the 'RUNGAME' file
Why would people say "EA sucks" on a video about a game that was NOT produced by EA? This was Westwood's release in '96 before the EA acquisition in '98. Even Red Alert 2 was still arguably Westwood, not EA developed. So what's with the warning SLOTG?
ya RA is great i liked it. why would they hate EA games anyway then they release great c&c games? (although i agree that they don't do so well with other games) XD RA is good
i thought my pc crashed then but i was trying to scroll down to the comments like in red alert using the mouse placing it at the bottom of the screen. what a twa... idiot.
man, you missed a green box (07:06)!!! :) is that the second half of the war? you bet 'em with only a 4-5 light tanks. pls broadcast the first part if you recorded it ( I can watch the whole war for the soundtracks )
There is infact a way of getting RA to run perfectly on windows XP too, but you'll need both the Aftermath and Counterstrike Expansion to do that. The real version has higher resolution, better grafics ect. Check my Video To see how the real RA looks like.
Esse jogo eh muito bom! eu tinha o red alert retaliation. muito bom mesmo! eu nao consegui fazer o download do red alert, somente o do gold, mas, mesmo assim eu naum consegui instalar. se alguem souber ae da uma dica! vlw!

Windows, Linux and DOS are examples for operating systems.
