Haha, I've got the Red Alert CD somewhere... must be pretty old now. Nice to see old games for free.

I just downloaded Red Alert. Unfortunately it will not run in Windows 7 64bit. This makes me very sad.

Tried Windows XP Mode?

Tried Windows XP Mode?

It is the actual setup file that will not run. At the top of the installation directions page is a guide for getting it working in 64bit mode. I will be trying it out tonight.

I'm pretty sure I have these CDs laying around somewhere, but I'll take a free download of Tiberian Sun.

I should have the Red Alert 1&2 and TS soundtracks somewhere as well...

Nice, I haven't been able to find my C&C1 CDs in years. Still my favorite one.

Too bad they don't have the Red Alert expansions, you guys are missing out on the giant ant missions:(

sweeeet. My old C&C cds are terribly scratched up. Wow, no wonder either. I just looked up C&C red alert, which I bought new, and that was 13 years ago.

Has anyone got this game to run yet? I can install it but I can't get it to run.

It's a 2D game, so if you have a 95/98/XP CD around, you could always install it in a VM. That's how I'm planning to do it, if I can ever find my old Windows CDs.

Only really played Tiberian Sun out of those (and poorly at that :p) - certainly will grab that.

I got 27 errors when decompressing. The game won't run, stating that it is missing some .dll.

Your ISP got hungry and took a byte (or several). Download it again. :)

I can't get it to run either :( I had Red Alert and Tiberium Sun, haven't tried Tiberium Dawn though. Might have to see if there are any ancient computers at home with W95 still working.

Also guys there are LOTS of FAQs on the download screen you will need them if you are trying to play this on vista/win 7

Yeah, I already went through those and follow the directions. No go.
