Original Command & Conquer is now Freeware!
By arzhou | September 3, 2007
Ahhh the nostalgia of playing C&C again, its amazing to realise that it has been 12 years since the original C&C was first released. It was one of the first RTS I tried my hands on. The genre has definitely progressed since the days of Dune 2, C&C and Warcraft 1. Right now I guess everyone is eagerly waiting the arrival of Starcraft 2. But I guess why not indulge in some nostalgia while waiting for it?
From www.commandandconquer.com:
Thanks largely to the efforts of our loyal fans whom continue to sustain and grow the Command & Conquer community, Command & Conquer has become a legendary franchise and it’s time to celebrate its birth once again.
In order to give back to the fans for over 12 years of devotion we are putting together a 12th Anniversary celebration during the month of September. However, as any Command & Conquer fan knows, the true party starts today, August 31st, which marks 12 years since Command & Conquer Gold launched way back in 1995.
To kick the celebration off, today we have a special surprise which we are certain new and old Command & Conquer fans will enjoy. We are providing the original Command & Conquer Gold as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade, and is now available for you to download for free!
