Time to Freely Command & Conquer
The original Command & Conquer (gold edition) is now available for free from EA, to celebrate its 12th anniversary of its release. You need to burn the ISO images onto CD-ROMs in order to play the game, but hey.... free classic game!Man, has it been that long? Freaky. Still, it was a very good game... though I preferred Warcraft II at the time. While its origins have been obscured over time and multiple sequels and prequels, Command & Conquer was originally something of a sequel to Westwood's earlier Dune II - but without the encumbering license. They just substituted Tiberium for Spice, and ... voila!
So if you are in the mood for some old-school RTS actions, give it a try!

I loved me some C&C back in the day (though I latched onto Red Alert originally).
To this day I can't play an RTS with builder units without it feeling clunky. I love slapping down a building order straight from the interface. No need for a builder-middleman, tyvm.

Yeah, I still remember the music for that game. It was the game that 'really' introduced me to the RTS concept (though I'd played other games that would technically be an RTS game... like MindCraft's "Siege" from a few years earlier). I was delighted.
I never owned a copy though. I borrowed a copy from the office for a week. Had a blast!
