A free classic game, well worth a download! I already have it about three times on discs, so it's useless to me but anybody who doesn't have it anymore should download straight away!

Has this been on before? I downloaded a C&C for my cousin - not much into PC games myself as I'm rubbish at them - so if anyone knows if it's the same or a different one I'd be gratefull to hear so I don't rag my bandwidth for nothing!

Regardless of that though a FREE game can never be cold... Unless it's Worms as it cost me a mouse in frustration last time I tried it after the pub!

Nice one I've still got the original, but it wouldn't install last time I tried as the installer was expecting Win95, good speed aswell atm

this was the first game I played online (directly on the internet) when I was a teenager. I remember the laddering system they did, at my peak I was 500th in the world!

Was a great game, mainly because they took C&C, didn't change it too much (winning formula) and went hi res.

Definitely worth a download.

The first one came out was the original C&C, not this one. This is the red alert one

Excellent, nothing like a bit of nostalgia gaming! The europe servers are getting pretty hammered so it looks like it'll take a few hours for it to download.
