Game Description

The Godfather of Real Time Strategy Games!

To celebrate the 12 year anniversary of the much beloved Command and Conquer series, Electronic Arts has made the game that started the real time strategy rage a completely free download!

The Original Command and Conquer

Command & Conquer, is an interactive strategy game like no other. Unlike traditional "strategy" games, Command & Conquer offers real-time combat. The emphasis isn't on turn taking or solving tactical problems like fuel, food, and bullets, but on real-time thrills, spills, and kills.

In Command & Conquer, you must first choose who you fight for. Does your allegiance go to The evil Brotherhood of Nod, a terrorist faction bent on world dominance? Or, do you choose to fight for the good of all, and support the United Nations Global Defense Initiative (GDI)? Each side has its own campaign and unique units.

Added to the addictive fun of the game's play are the animated cinematic sequences. Employing the latest cutting-edge graphics techniques, the Westwood staff artists working on Command & Conquer combined the use of rendered and digitized full-motion video. Set to a script written by professional screenwriters, these animated sequences set the game play in an exciting story that places you right in the middle of the action.

And because you asked for it, Command & Conquer will allow you to go head-to-head against other commanders in specially designed missions over a modem (2 player) or network (4 player)! As most of us know, nothing feels better than blasting your friends into dust, then gloating in triumph afterward. All of this, combined with the ability to play good or evil, modem or network, Human or Computer AI makes Westwood's Command & Conquer a game with tons of replay value.

54321 A classic RTS-game of its time, Mar 13, 2010

by Aadil

Set on the epoch of major world war era, this game allows you to master the art of war by choosing from among five major nations with their specific weapons and technology. You can play the campaign mode or the skirmish mode, or build a map of your own and play in it against a computer AI, or your friends.
You could also play it online or through LAN,with up to 7 of your friends.
With low requirements for running, this game can easily be played on any computer, but Macintosh users have to change their operating system, if they want to play this game, which I am sure they won’t.
The best thing about this game is its realistic war type battlefield graphics, fast and smooth gameplay and low system requirements.
The only regret one could ever have in having this game is the lack of armies available and hence sometimes repetitive weapons, technologies, and difficulty in establishing a server for local area network for multiplayer mode.
But overall, its a must have title that can easily be downloaded because of its small size.

54321 "CLASSIC", Jan 11, 2010

by Kyle Wingo (Garland,TX)

I have always been a fan of RTS games and a great franchise for newcomers and hardcore gamers alike is the Command & Conquer series.  The original in this classic series definitely doesn’t disappoint. It has it all, from the feeling of going from almost nothing to creating and controlling the largest and most powerful force you can possibly create.  You can use everything from the lowly soldier with a rifle to a giant tank, or a deadly helicopter, or even a formidable battleship. You must gather rich tiberium fields to fund your massive war machine.  Conquer your enemy’s from land, air, or sea, this game has a little bit of everything for everybody.  I recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of the series and I especially recommend this game for the newcomers to the RTS war game.

54321 best game there ever was, Oct 28, 2009

by Alex Kirby (crawley , england)

When I was very young this game came out and it would be all that I played. I now have every C&C game that has ever come out thanks to this first one. But there was one problem, I didn’t have with this one and it was the one that inspired me to get all of them! Now thanks to this site, my collection is complete! This game brings back many old memories of C&C.
