Command & Conquer - free!
The ol' classic Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (+ Expansion), and C&C: Red Alert are now available for free, to help promote the release of Command & Conquer 4.
Command & Conquer - Classics
It took me a while to realize "Tiberian Dawn" was actually the original C&C. I am so old-school. Back then we knew it as, "The unofficial sequel to Dune 2." Yeah, they aren't harvesting spice on Arakis, you were harvesting tiberium or whatever-it-was-called on Earth... But yeah. It's perhaps not THE great-grandaddy of RTS's, but it's definitely one of the classics that spawned the genre.
(Tangent: my first RTS game was the much-forgotten MindCraft game, "Siege.")
I spent a few very late nights back in the day playing the first one, but never played the other two. Should be fun!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that learned of RTS through Siege! I recall designing the armies and trying to storm/defend the keeps.
Miss that game. I'd appreciate knowing how C&C compare. I switched to turn-based during those years.

Oh wow, I'd forgotten about Siege. I only saw the ads for it. But I definitely remember Mindcraft's Magic Candle games. (I wonder how many other RPGs allowed you to send out tailors and carpenters on a quest.)
Have they been altered/gotten an emulator packaged so they work with 64bit windows 7?
If not, do you know where to find an emulator?

Awesome! C&C was one of my favorites back in the day; would be fun to play it again... I loaned out my copy, never to be seen again. =(
