Original C&C: Red Alert Released For Free

Celebrating 13 years of Command & Conquer, the fine folks over at Electronic Arts have released a free downloadable version of the original C&C: Red Alert. The game is split into to separate files, each weighing in at around 500MB. The only drawback is limited "official" OS support and you'll have to either burn the game to discs or run a Virtual CD program. Here's the scoop:

- This software contains support for Windows XP/98/Me/95 with installation instructions. This software is not supported by Windows Vista, however there are community driven strategies and tips available for making the software function on Vista which you can find on our various fan-sites.

- To 2220 install the software, you will need Winzip or Winrar to unrar the files. These files have also been compiled in to an ISO image. You will need to burn the ISO to a CD for the software to function or use a Virtual CD program to run the installation on your computer.
