This is the game that sparked an interest in the RTS genre for me. I have so many fond memories of playing this around my cousin's house and thinking it was one of the most brutal and realistic games I'd ever seen! It literally amazed me how you could manage so many troops on the field at the same time and that they would all automatically fire at will whenever they came into contact with the enem... read more

The game focuses on a war between two organizations, The BrotherhoodCommand & Conquer developed ideas from Westwood's previous Dune 2, forming a real time strategy game which has influenced many. The control system of selecting units with the mouse and then directing them is similar to future titles such as Total Annihilation.
The game focuses on a war between two organizations, The Brotherhood of Nod and the Global Defense Initiative. You can take control of either side for more than 15 missions. Both have different units and structures, including artillery, tanks and light infantry.
In most missions you have to build a base first to build new units and structures. Most important are the special harvesters, which collect Tiberium and deliver it to a refinery, where it's converted into money - money which is needed to create additional units.

"1995 - However it was Westwood's next creation that really ushered in the new genre. C&C was very impressive. Large armies of tanks and infantry, video cut sequences and impressive visuals, Westwood created a masterpiece given the hardware limits it had to work with.

"#66 - Kane
When it comes to evil masterminds, it's hard to beat Kane.

Although retired after the first way, Mammoth tanks were salvaged by many members of the Forgotten from abandoned GDI bases. "

Mind blowing!
As I got older I began to appreciate the story line a bit more. That in itself is epic and has spawned an entire new universe of sequels and fan fictions. The game was revolutionary at the time and isn't so bad these days. I wouldn't think twice about giving it a run through and I own it on the playstation as well.
