I don't know if this is a limited time offer or what but you can download the old school Command and Conquer games (Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun + Firestorm and Red Alert) for free, 100% legal, HERE. Just figured I'd pass it along. Also, I'm not a huge fan of RTS games and have never played any of the C&C games. Any suggestions for a noob? It's kinda hard to pass up a free game, let alone a couple. EDIT - Just checked around for any other info, Joystiq is saying some of the games are tricky to install due to the games being older. |

That was something of a pain to install. I didnt know these games were that old. I thought they would be turn based since I have never played them before. The game similar to this that I have played is Star War Galatic Battlegrounds. So I am kind of confused about what I should be doing.

Yeah, like age of empires I think. Generally, install and run them as Admin and you should be fine. I mean, as well as you can do in battle against his brother's keeper.

We have a PC gamers thread? Hmm...
Not like I play many PC games or anything.

Downloaded 'em all, don't have the time or inclination to mess around with trying to install them right now. Saving them for a rainy day.

Are these old games? If so, running them in DosBox may help.
