Anyone have Red Alert?
... or the original C&C?

I've found that it's still possible to play RA over Gamespy, and so presumably C&C as well.

Anyone fancy a game some time?

I had it working on XP. I think you can download a patch for it.

Or it might have been compatibility mode, either way I played it on XP before.

Yeah, I know. I reaally want to play RA again. RA2 just didn't have the same charm as RA, which actually felt like it could be WW2 (ver 2.0 ).

Cruisers are l33t.

AFAIK it can't be done with XP, due to MS's belief that people don't play old games anymore.

That seems a little out of character.

Go to Red Alert's website, think the patch was there.

Now that I recall, I had CnC working, but without sound...

That's where C&C95 comes into it's own.

I want my Red Alert icons back.... they were the coolest, but I can't install it on this computer to access them, grr.  Have to use the old computer and transfer them over floppy, I guess.  Pain in the butt.....

The original C&C's tracks were the best IMHO.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I got the whole World Warfare pack. C&C classic with Covert Operations and Red Alert with Aftermath and Counterstrike.

I think they're both better than Tiberian Sun.

Tiberian Sun was ****. The acting could have told us that. Poor James Earl Jones..
