Command & Conquer Free Game

To commemorate the 12th anniversary of the Command & Conquer series, EA Games has recently released a free full version of the first Command & Conquer Game, CnC 1: Tiberian Dawn (1995). This version is similar to the one found on the game package, The First Decade, and thus will be playable on Windows XP and Vista.

For those of you that don't know, Command & Conquer 1: Tiberian Dawn is one of the three original "kings" of RTS games, together with Warcraft: Orcs and Humans (1994) and Total Annihilation (1997), that sparked the genre. I suggest this download for those who want to know how the original Tiberium (Tiberian) Wars escalated into a global conflict between the GDI and The Brotherhood of Nod. I mean, that's probably the only reason you're going to download it anyway. As for me, now I have a spare game for my mom's laptop.

You can get the full version from:
1. EA Games: http://www.commandandconquer.com/intel/default.aspx?id=61#NewsMain
2. Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/commandconquer/download_6178099.html?tag=newlyadded;title;1


Note:
1. To download from the Gamespot servers, you must first create a free account, for those of you who don't want to go through this, then use the EA servers or any other servers you can find.
2. Download and follow the instructions given by EA very carefully, as you won't be able to run the game right away after installation. You have to go through, I'll admit, a very tedious process to make the game run.
