I can't believe the original C&C is 12 years old. Seems like yesterday I was playing that...
Thanks for the links.

I've been looking for the original C&C for ages!!!
I'm having brutally slow download times, though. Is any one else having this issue?

Also it's been quitting... just stops, and then I have two 180 MB files that are supposed to be 580.
Edit: file not found error now... EA's links are broken.

It was like molasses downloading.
There's probably a torrent for them, so that will be a better option (they should have done that in the first place)

I haven't had a whole lot of success with torrents of this..
In other news, I tried to install Red Alert today... it came up saying something like, "You are using Windows 5.1, this is a Windows 95-only product."

I've got 45 seeds on the torrent I found.
And set the installer to Win-95 compatability mode, that may help installation.

I had to turn of Windows 95 compatability mode in the installer to get it to work... downloaded it with dowloadthemall (Firefox plugin) to make it go faster. Still haven't got it to find my sound card though.

Was just coming here to say that same thing.
I installed FarCry (loved that game so much when it first came out, what a great game). Anyway, had to change my address to the USA.
It asks for a CD key when doing online multiplayer - I take it free version doesn't let us do that?
