http://digg.com/pc_games/Original_Command_and_Conquer_released_as_freeware - PawFox, on 11/11/2007, -4/+71While it's a decent game and all, I still have no respect for EA putting Westwood into bankruptcy.
- Darkshine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+55Now that it's frontpaged my download will never finish :(
- fires, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40They should release the source code.

- evilesttoast, on 10/10/2007, -7/+43Who the hell uses BugMeNot on Digg?
- scabbers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37Ad-supported doesn't really equal freeware. They're like... adware or something.
- satx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37Please tell me what games you're talking about...

- ers35, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31It's not actually a bugmenot account. That's the "running joke".
- i4mt3hwin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25Farcry and Prince of Persia were also released by UBISOFT as freeware today.
- warp25, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25a very legitimate use of Torrent p2p for this !!!
- CopyNinja, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Could someone make a torrent of this? It has great potential!
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Buy the C&C: The First Decade pack, it's everything up to but excluding the new one. So many great games.
- t0ny, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Whats the difference between gold and the original version?
I'm only getting 10kbs! Some one throw it on bit torrent.
And last but not lease I wish they would make it open source like doom. - xpankrat, on 10/10/2007, -3/+24Dune 2 for me please :)
- ers35, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20In addition, bugmenot.com has disallowed the submitting of accounts for use on Digg.
- darkein, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Torrent Plz?!?
- spilk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20What is the difference between the GDI and NOD isos? Do i need both? I've never played this game before.
- diggitizer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20There is a little known CHEAT for C&C that I will share here, but I have never seen it ever published on a website:
There is a key mod (alt) for alternative fire for a unit, by asking them to fire at an area of land.
Hold alt, and click. they throw a grenade, and quickly, keep holding alt and keep cliking and scrolling up, and the grenade will retrack to the cursor. If you remove all fog of war, and have full spy plane and visibility you can manufacture 000's of grenadiers and attack from hude distances with mobile seeking swarms of grenades. - mreddy1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19well, there's far cry, raving rabbids, pop:sands of time, this one, but i don't know the last one.
- schoate09, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20I don't wanna know what it will take to get this to run on Vista.
- skywiselh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18I am hoping that was just a poor attempt at trolling ... otherwise outsid3rNo17 is just a moron who didn't even comprehend the intoduction on Red Alert.
PS: Red Alert takes place between 1953 and 1955 in a parallel universe, inadvertently created by Albert Einstein in a failed attempt to prevent World War II. - jedikv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+181. You clearly do not understand what red alert is all about
2. You are an ill-informed blind ideological fool whos irrational baseless hatred has obstructed any form of logic or reasoning. - MadEnvoy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Your dignity.
- arkmtech, on 10/10/2007, -10/+26Torrent of both CD images:

Go! Go! Go! - funkspiel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16that's decent of them.
- d03boy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Everyone should stop downloading it except the 1 person who is going to make a torrent :(
- mortigon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16SONT OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!! Why do they insist on allowing Uwe Boll to direct these movies!!!!!!!
- neocr0n, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Thankfully the majority of Westwood is back under the name of Petroglyph.
http://www.petroglyphgames.com/ - Conrey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16http://www.abandonia.com/games/36/download/Dune2.htm
- GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14GDI were the good guys. NOD are the bad guys.
You can install and play off either but need both to play both campaigns naturally. - Splitt3rxx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14awesome, I already have the game but it is the original and isn't compatible with XP.
- badlyspawnedboy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13download and install:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/ - LiquidAardvark, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12You've got to be kidding me. Tell us truthfully, you haven't actually played it, have you?
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12And $9.99 isn't a bad price to pay for no ads in my Far Cry.
- Downtime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12C&C Gold has a higher gameplay resolution, so you can see much more of the battlefield than on the original version, which was much more up close. Internet play via Westwood Chat was also introduced as part of C&C Gold/95.
- h4mx0r, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11FFS. It might not seem like it, but its just goddamn science fiction. The intro itself explains why the timeline is so farked compared to reality. Of course, in your later comments I see that you are now comparing the game as a political statement of some sort.
It's a ***** game made in 1996, and some people wanted to make an alternate timeline. That automatically makes it an intentional propaganda of some sort?
I could take most games and with a few different interpretations and bam, I can be as angry as I want towards a game, but that doesn't mean it was some kind of statement. It's just a ***** game. - steelmaverick, on 10/23/2007, -0/+11"That was left-handed"
- KingBabi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11You are the most ignorant, biased and ill-informed person here. How about actually reading up on these subjects (first and foremost, Red Alert on wikipedia), then maybe coming back with an answer that doesn't make you look like a blithering idiot.
- Demq, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Finally... Reinforcement has arrived.
- vagarach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11You must first sprinkle 2 drops of water on the area surrounding your computer, then run around in a circle 5 times shouting random words. Or something.
- H0ns, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Puh, now i can seed it legally. *throws a cd in - making a torrent*
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Thats red alert 2 you *****. play red alert one.
- tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10You idiot! It's fiction. It's not real. IT IS NOT HISTORY; IT IS AN ALTERNATE HISTORY! Get it? Jesus Christ.
