These are OLD games

These are very old games, why are you bothering buying this collection? Tyberian sun came out like 5 years ago, renegade has been replaced as a good first person mode game by GTA 3 Vice City and stuff like that, so you don't want it. Yuri's revenge is acceptable, but not since Generals came out. Long story short, GET COMMAND AND CONQUER GENERALS AND ZERO HOUR, a copy would be best, since it is 10 times cheaper.

No Tech Support, but a ton of fun

These games are a blast and can be very addicting (until you try Generals Zero:Hour).

The big issue with these games is that EA does not actively support the games. It's impossible to get a response from them (from our experience). Also-if you install several similar games together on one machine you may have trouble running the games. We have.

As far as the action goes, these games bring RTS to a new level from their predecessors...like Red Alert. They are XP compatible...don't know what that one reviewer was talking about. The problem is they are getting old and have been out for about 6 years now.

But for $20, you cannot miss with this pack. We bought two of them for different machines. If you like these games, you will love Generals/Zero Hour. Try that too.

VERY WELL DONE, BUT

It's hard to beat getting 5 game disks for under $20. It makes a person think there must be a catch, and in this case, there is:
You need to do some extra steps to get it to run in Windows XP. I assume its fine on Win 95 or Win 98, but I'm no longer using those systems.

Comma To make it run on Windows XP, you have to tell Win XP to run it in Windows 98 Compatibility mode. This includes the installation programs on the disks;

This is what we did:
Click Start - Run - Browse to bring up the menu of the installation disk.
For each program icon on the disk;
Right Click the icon, select Properties - Compatibility;
click the compatibility box, and choose Windows 98.
Apply and close. Then go on to the next program and do the same thing, until you have done every executable program on the disk.
After that, it installs and runs just great!

It only took an hour or so to load each game in the set, but we've played them for many hours more. Because the game allows you to set the number of enemies and their difficulty, the game can grow in complexity each time you play-- Or you can leave it on the easy settings, if you like smashing the enemy every time.

The soldiers scream briefly when they die. Other than that, it is probably the least bloody computer war game I've seen.

Great Game for the Strategy War Gamer

The C&C collection is a great game for war gamers,however I could not install Renegade on my XP all the other games installed fine though.Also EA tech support is horrible.This game is still great buy.

Product arrived timely and was as represented. We are unable to install two of the games for unknown reasons - perhaps a glitch in our computer. Experience has taught us to be sure system requirements are sufficient for any game software. An older Command and Conquer disk was not compatible with our Windows XP o.s. Contact seller if unsure.

Red Alert and Yuri's Revenge Make it Well Worth It

Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge are both a lot of fun. The missions give you tough scenarios and introduce you to some the different strategies and unit combos that help you win, both for that particular mission and for future missions and skirmishes. What's especially fun is that often, the mission needs a certain "trick" to beat it, and it might take a little while to find out, but you find out eventually. It's like a puzzle. (When you lose patience, find one of the walkthrough websites that are online).

Once you're finished with the missions, you can have a lotta fun with the skirmishes. The trick to keeping this interesting is to use the different maps--they each present different opportunities and challenges.

After playing the Red Alert games, the Tiberian Sun games appear to be in Nintendo-era graphics. It's hard for me to imagine anyone liking those after playing Red Alert and YR. I uninstalled them after an hour or so.

Renegade is fun for a few hours, and woulda been a great game, except that I kept finding that I needed to get somewhere else on the map (maybe through a building, or something) and I had no clue on how to get there, and the game map doesn't tell you. After running around lost for an hour over the same ground that I kept covering and not finding the way out of the building that I needed, I gave up. I uninstalled this game after a few days. If anyone knows that I'm missing something in using the map, or something, please let me know--maybe I'm wrong about Renegade after all.

In short, Tiberian Sun and Renegade are not worth your time, Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge are both excellent, and make this package well worth your 20 bux.

What a collection!

Well this is what is included:
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Firestorm
Command & Conquer: Renegade
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge (AWESOME)
Also a demo of Command & Conquer: Generals
What more can a true C&C'er want then this, except Red Alert 3 with the new Generals Engine and more storylines like the old games. This is a excellent price for an excellent collection. Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge is worth the price alone. Plus all of these games are still working multiplayer able.

Pure and simple

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and the expansion pack, Yuri's Revenge is more than enough to justify a $20 price tag - that in itself is a bargain, with more than enough to keep any sane person entertained for hours on end, especially with the floods of modifications availabale for the game. To get three additional games thrown in just says it all. Pure and Simple

Great Collection of C&C Titles

This is a great and well-rounded collection of games from the Command & Conquer universe.

Tiberian Sun & Firestorm Expansion - Though the graphics are a little dated, the gameplay of Tiberian Sun more than make up for it. Futuristic technology abounds. 4 out of 5.

Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge Expansion - Possibly the most popular C&C game, Red Alert 2 allows you to fight in the modern world (with some futuristic technologies such as hovercraft. The war is between the U.S. and its allies and the Soviet Union, who are invading the States and have powerful mind-control technology at their disposal. 5 out of 5.

Renegade - This is the only game in this collection that falls short of great. Sure, it's cool for a while to run around in the world of Tiberian Sun, but a great first-person shooter this is not. It's repetetive and alternately laughably easy and frustratingly hard. If you're looking for a couple days' worth of entertainment, this might suit you. If you're looking for a great sci-fi FPS, well, keep looking. Westwood should've stuck with strategy games. 3 out of 5.

All in all this is a great package that is well worth your twenty bucks. If you like RTS games at all, stop reading this review and buy The Command & Conquer Collection.
