by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 31, 2008 9:21am PDTAs had been expected, Electronic Arts has released the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert for free to celebrate the release of the original Command & Conquer 13 years ago.At FileShack you can find the ISOs for the Allied and Soviet discs. Both are about 500mb downloads.
Red Alert can be installed under Windows XP, 98, 95 and ME. Vista is not officially supported, though it should be able to run on that OS as well.

Classics ftw.
FYI it'll work on Vista 64, follow the instructions here or on the official EA giveaway site.
I hope they release Malcom Returns as a freeware goodie. That game was gold.

I could never get it to work in Windows 2K, but I never gave it a shot on XP. I think I'll go dig those discs out and give it a try now!
