Red Alert on XP & The First Decade

Vulcan · 28 May 2006 at 13:26

I've been unable to run Red Aert on XP, i've tried many times using patches, running under Windows 95 mode etc etc. But none have worked, I was wondering if anyone has C&C: The First Decade?

If so..

Has the RA on there been modified to run under XP?

Yes, it has.

Great, ordered.

Thanks.

It's fantastic for that.

RA1, RA2, Tib Sun and Tib Dawn are awesome over a network.

Tiberium Dawn? I didn't think that ever got released? In fact, i though that was the _next_ in the series still?!?

edit:
nm, dawn is just called the C&C over here mostly. and it's twilight that's the next in the series.

Yep, works perfectly on all games.

Last night I played Red Alert for the first time in about 9 years. It has aged somewhat and Red Alert 2 (a game I still play occasionally) is vastly superior from a technical standpoint.

Might have to give Tiberian Sun a whirl as I never really gave it a proper chance before.
