These games introduced powerful “Command” units that can be built and featured three factions, the USA, China and the GLA (Global Liberation Army I think, neither the provided documentation or my memory serves to tell me). In the final installments of this venerable franchise, Command & Conquer: Generals and Generals Zero Hour, the developers introduced a third faction. Westwood revisited the American/Russian theme in Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge. Later on, the GDI and Brotherhood were brought back in the Tiberian Sun, Firestorm and Renegade games. Squared off against the Soviet Union in the Red Alert variations – Red Alert, The Aftermath and Counterstrike. Next, Westwood explored a world where the U.S. The GDI was supposed to be the military forces of the West, while the Brotherhood represented a “quasi terrorist” organization. The original game and its spinoff, Covert Operations featured two factions, the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod. But I always liked them, so I thought I’d bring these out, brush the dust off my memories and give them a replay, Bacon style.ĭuring its time in the video game sun, the Command & Conquer series has gone through a number of iterations/variations. Would have been 20 but for the ridiculous number of product keys I had to enter…Īt one time these games were on par with the other most beloved RTS out there, Star Craft but over the years they’ve faded into obscurity for most. Total time elapsed between purchase and install, about 30 minutes.
COMMAND E CONQUER THE DECADE PLUS
I was walking around Wal Mart the other day and saw a most amazing sight… All the Command & Conquer games I’d enjoyed growing up, plus a few I’d never played all for the glorious bargain price of $5 (what can I say, it’s the holidays and I’m a poor/cheap bastard).
Nerd Rating: 6 out of 10 (plus 2 for nostalgia)
