Just busy I think -- eventually got one of the links to start (fingers crossed for the other disc!) Nice heads-up FD. Red Alert might have been good in it's day, but it's well dated now, and the building controls feel even worse. I don't even think you can queue items in that version. The underground missions annoyed the hell outta me!
Red Alert 2 still plays well however.

Curse you Vista and your poor backwards compatibility!
Does anyone else here keep an old computer around just for old games? Or am I just a loser like that?

Meh. Just puts us people who actually bought it and still fire it up now and then in a position where we regret every buying it. You lucky people get it for free.
I've spent countless hours playing RA2. I might even buy RA3. The acted scenes in the past games were so bad that they were good. The newest game is supposed to have about 60 minutes of video material. Hopefully they are worse than ever. :P
OMG! George Takei and Tim Curry are in it. This is something I have to see! :D

...And you got to play it 13 years earlier.
Boy, didn't you get ripped of.
Hehe, class. The Wrath and Kane Red alert series, wasn't too great in my opinion. I liked building walls in C&C, it meant you can channel enemies through certain well defended points. and not have to worry about placing defensive structures everywhere, and you could track the confines of your base easier :o)
Yeah I got to play it multiplayer at work when it was hot years ago, great fun!
