Download Links

As far as I know, it works with XP, Vista users, try compatibility.

Classic games, free for us? I've not downloaded it yet, but the link definitely works!

Enjoy.

Brilliant heads up. Ta. This C&C

awn imo was the best out of all the C&C's, right down to it's awesome tracks like Act on Instinct. Url blocked at work so I'll need to check it out later at home. Boo!

Hope it does work on Vista x64.

Doesnt work for anyone that runs Vista64.

vista 32 is fine though, although had to do the run in compat95+ 640x480+ disable visual themes + 256 colour mode, works perfectly though, way better than i remember it on the N64 (i guess cos the N64 had the worst controller invented by man XD)

Man am I looking forward to playing this. Cut my teeth on it so long ago. I remember getting more and more excited getting closer to the Ion Cannon, and then having fun burning scores of little men.

And the fearsome Nod light tank. Ah, happy days.

Obelisk of light and stealth tanks 4tw

platypus · 17 Jun 2008 at 16:45

But the Obelisks were never as good as the ones the PC had

Odd, the one in first decade works fine in Vista x64 without any compat modes :eek:

It still wont work,dont think any amount of fiddling will make it work with Vista64.

Amnesia · 17 Jun 2008 at 21:56

Deluxe1 · 17 Jun 2008 at 22:01

platypus · 17 Jun 2008 at 23:25

Man this is nostalgic. Awesome soundtrack!

Blackhawk47 · 17 Jun 2008 at 23:34

im guessing this the original game then > downloading but im tired now so ill get some shut eye.

Snakedoctor · 17 Jun 2008 at 23:39

I still have my original disks somewhere. This was the second game that I bought for PC. The first being Doom of course. Or did I get First Encounters before?
