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 my favorite of all time, Jun 03, 2011

by bram (jakarta, indonesia)

CnC have always been my fav rts game ever since the first series come out. although its brother games red alert have gone from good to bad, this series particularly have gone from good to great to hell yeah awesome !!

what i love most is the way the story evolve, from a simple warfare machine to a sophisticated stealth tank, the tiberium series have always been the best !! and this first edition is not left behind either. though the graphic still in bitmap but the gameplay beats it !!! this is how game should be, gameplay first then graphic

this game is the first game that thought me how to start an RTS game. It is just a “Plain and Simple game” before you jump to other complex games, the best headstart is this one. it can be easily understood by a kid.. Like a boot camp for a beginer in RTS. the graphics are A ok.. This game is the mother of all command and conquer sequel.. And I’ve played it, like command and conquer retallation, and other C n’ C. For those who want lot’s of action and fire power this game has it.. Long Live the GDI!

54321 Best Oldie RTS game, Jan 08, 2011

by Carcisswm

Command & Conquer Gold is the best RTS game that came out apart from the newer ones (C&C Tiberian Sun, C&C 2,3 and 4). This game is also a very fun game that anyone can play whether your 10 or even if your 50 years old. the movies in between the missions are also very well played. based on the Brotherhood of NOD and GDI (Global Defense Initiative) are in war with Tiberium and need you to grow tiberium with NOD or help the human race with GDI. I recommend this game to any Fans of Strategy games or any people that are about to be welcomed by the wrath of Tiberium in Command & Conquer Gold Edition.

This is one of the first real time games that shows you what simple fun game play can be.  Some of the updated titles dont come close to fun this one has…

54321 RTS's poster game, Jun 14, 2010

by Ryan Davis (OC, USA)

Ive played hundreds of rts games and this is the second best to starcraft. Although it is the best series on account of it having so many games.

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.
