The Rise and Fall of Command & Conquer

Don't forget if a unit died in Tiberium it could turn into one of those weird blobs that ate infantry and sprayed chem trooper green fire. They'd also combine into a bigger blob if two or w/e found each other.

God damn that hell march Pikachu video had me loling.

Agreed. The Pikachu March is amazing.

They need McNeil and Kane with those grainy ass graphics sitting in front of comm screens and full blown immersion. This sitcom tier cornball shit they did was so bad except for getting to see Tim Curry. God he's great.

I thought those cheeseball videos for each mission were what really made the franchise stand out.

Yeah but for this and nothing else in the later RAs



ok that and tanks and machine gun dudes

He fit well in that Russian general role. Coulda been way better.

My first RTS was the original Warcraft which I really liked a lot but the original C&C was the one I truly loved the most.

Back in the mid 90s when it first came out, I had a buddy of mine from work who would come over a couple nights a week to go head-to-head with me via direct connect. We had two rigs but we had to share one desk space so to keep things fair, we decided to position one of our rigs on top of the desk in between the us, like a partition, so that neither of us could cheat by looking over to see what the other person was building.

Audio was the interesting part. Originally, we each used headphones but eventually discovered that ditching them and just having sound on that both of us could hear made things really interesting. Nothing made us pucker more than when that chick would announce, "nuclear missile ready" when the charge-up was complete.

I still remember him yelling out, "aww shit, you MFer!" whenever mine was ready. LOL
