Hi all,
I’m a big fan of the Command & Conquer series of games. I’ve spent countless hours playing titles like Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun and Generals. Even today I log in and play Tiberium Alliances from time to time, but not as often as before. Actually completed the game by destroying the Fortress on World 6 a long time ago. It was with the clan West UA DC. Anyway, if you too are a fan of these games, look no further than CnCNet…
On CnCNet you can download old C&C classics for free! Yes, it is true, completely free. All provided downloads come pre-packaged with CnCNet Online Multiplayer. This means you can play Red Alert 2 or another title Online. They even have updated ladders, which makes playing more fun and competitive. :) They also have modded versions that completely alters the original games.
Another good thing is that these games will work perfectly on Windows 8. I tried installing Red Alert 2 from my original CD-s and it did not work on Windows 8.
They have even added a lot of features for the old games. Look at Red Alert 1 for example:
- Cheat Prevention.
- Built-in High Resolution Patch.
- Easy to use Configuration tool for Game settings.
- Improved Speed, and Reduced Lag.
- Additional Languages – English, German, French, Spanish.
- Map Editors included – Create your own maps!
- Tunneling Technology. No port forwarding required!
- Easy installation, Download & Play.
- Fully featured Chat lobby.
- Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1,
Windows 10 Support - Mac OS X Support.
Isn’t that cool? :) Wow!

If you’ll excuse me, I’ll head over to CnCNet right now to do some downloading. ;)
