Heh, still have my old cds. Doubt they've done anything to make these actually work properly with Windows XP, Vista and 7 have they?

As they sure as hell didn't with the first two games.

I have just tried it briefly in Win7x64 and it worked ok. Looked awful in 800x600 but a quick look in the games sun.ini file i managed to force it to my monitors native 1680x1050 res.

Cool, never played this and always considered buying it

Bingo! I've just found the game I'm going to play on my laptop on holiday

Thanks for the find.

cool, i sold my copy before xmas lol

Hah, they've just repackaged the TibSun from the First Decade, that's even the folder it extracts to!

Still, say all the bad things you like about EA, its great that they've released the first three C&C games for free.

i remember waiting outside the shop for it to open on release day for this when i was a kid, then when i played it the disappointment set in lol

but for free, hey awesome!

SiD the Turtle · 13 Feb 2010 at 12:22

Boo! Tib Sun was awesome. Oozed atmosphere.

Tute · 13 Feb 2010 at 13:29

Doesn't work, complains about files missing. Downloaded it twice now.

I love how EA can't do something as simple as distribute a game. What a load of imbeciles.

K1LLSW1TCH · 13 Feb 2010 at 13:32

Will have a download of these later on. Didn't even know the first two C&C games were being given for free!

PapaLazaru · 13 Feb 2010 at 13:34

Cheers for the heads up though I cannot get Read Alert to work. :mad:

Maybe I am just too hungover to work it out............

Radiation · 13 Feb 2010 at 13:41

I have the game already but i take it this won't need a cd burnt to run?

Also is there a way to play older c&c games over tcp/ip instead of ipx?

No, but then IIRC TFD doesn't?

Do you mean The First Decade? I have a few of the old games on their own.
