Damn I had some good fun with that game. I feel so fucking old now, that shit's like 14 years old.

Too bad it doesn't seem to workon any OS other than Win'95.

Thankfully EA released it as freeware and some dedicated modders solved the compatibility issue: redalert1.com/

Enjoy, comrade.

It's cool, I have it running on XP and Vista PCs with The First Decade installed. It's a little tricky, but enough fiddling and it works.

I could never get it to run, despite having both discs. But I'm glad others have figured it out.

See, you say "figured it out", but I had fucking no idea what I was doing. I can't remember how I did it, and I'm too scared to touch anything in case it stops working.

Well, if it ever stops working for whatever reason there's the download link for the full & patched version.

Speaking of strategy games, did you ever play Warzone 2100? Because that was a hella good game.

Nope, the only other birds eye view strategy games I've played were Age of Empires and Total Annihilation. Good times...

Warzone was a PS1 release back in '99. You can currently download it for free here:

It had an edge over RA in my opinion because you designed (to a certain extent) your vehicles yourself. The sheer amount of in-game content and possibilities is fantastic.

Ace. Thanks for the link, champ.

Anytime bud.
