Same here, definitely the most fun game in the series if you liked to build meticulously designed bases.

Agreed. CnC3 was nice, but I still prefer the art style and music in TibSun.

I can't even begin to tell you how many hours I've poured into the skirmish mode.

Still my favourite of the series, also worth noting is that this works online without needing a new cd key. Just played a few games yesterday and must say its pretty fun.

So I guess they didn't give away the First Decade edition where you ca play on any machine easily?

Sucks for those people.

Ooh, nice. I still have my original Red Alert CDs, but I think I'll have to give Tiberian Sun a go. (:

I have read your comment about a thousand times, and I keep reading it as "Nipple maps".

Whishful thinking perhaps?

I'm guessing it's complicated not because it's in ISO form, but because C&C1 and RA1 were designed for Win95.

This is awesome, Tiberian Sun was the best one in my opinion. Red Alert was pretty good too. I feel like all of the newer C&C games just don't have it anymore.

If you have windows 7, it's almost most not worth the effort to even download it. I downloaded red alert yesterday and have tried for the past two days to get it to work. I can install it but the patches don't work.

If want to try, I wish you luck.

Right-click on the file called "game" in the folder and go to Compatibility panel... change the value there to 'run in Windows 98 mode' or whatever it says and save that.. It will then run fine on Windows 7 64-bit even with no other fiddling.

Yup. Scott is correct. I had to figure that out trying to get Tiberian Sun to work on Win7. I kept trying Win XP mode but that wouldnt work. I didnt realize it predated even Win XP. hehe. As Scott said, you need to troubleshoot compatibility on "game.exe" and choose Win98/ME.

Goodluck!

Don't want to be nitpicky, but Windows 95 won't take you back to 1990. For that you will need something older, say something like:

Now this is a perfect cap to a day of free games. I remember booting up Tiberian Sun back in the day, what a classic. Never got around to picking up Firestorm though, this sounds like my chance.

With Tiberium Dawn, all I did to get it running on my 64-bit version of Windows 7 was change the compatibility mode to Windows XP SP3. I've played a couple of GDI missions, and it appears to work fine.

Tinkering = done.

LOL. I still remember the sandbag bug/cheat in the original C&C for DOS. Had tons of fun playing it on LAN during high school.

Is that the one where you could put a unit near a sandbag and sell the injured unit?

No, I think he means you'd make a line of sandbags to their base, then put a turret or a unit producing building, and they'd pop out and start shooting

@Deezul: It's the one where you can throw a sandbag somewhere on the minimap (eg. near the enemy base), then do what you said. :)
