Red Alert 1 Released As Freeware

Posted by Soulskill on from the that-was-left-handed dept.

Ciaran_H writes "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 1 was released as freeware on C&C's 13th anniversary. The Soviet and Allied CDs are available for download on EA's site. With the freeware release of the original Command & Conquer: Tiberium Dawn having taken place last year for the 12th anniversary, two of the most popular RTS games are now available completely free." EA is also offering a free download of Red Alert 2 with a pre-order of the upcoming Red Alert 3. The above link has a trailer for the new game, which includes appearances from George Takei, Tim Curry, Jenny McCarthy, and others.

    So kudos to EA!

    My guess is this is the second least common statement on slashdot next to "I just got laid last night".

      It doesn't count as getting laid unless there was more than one person involved. And the people on your computer screen don't count as being "involved".

    I like playing these old games because they make my graphics card look huge.
