Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection

Wow! Childhood memories from an era when TV and music were actually good! I’d forgotten how damn HARD C&C Red Alert is though! Kinda feeling nostalgic now ! *creaks slightly* Still a brilliant game but the frustration when the enemy turns up, minces your best troops and blows up your super expensive radar dome!

‎What is the very first video game ever created? Mostly will answer: Pong. ‎ ‎But on the contrary, here are some of the games that was exist long before Pong did. First starting it with Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement Device (1947): This is the earliest interactive electronic game ever patented. It used analog hardware to simulate firing missiles at targets, but because it didn't run on a computer or use a digital display, many don't count it as a "video game". ‎Then comes the next one. ‎Bertie the Brain (1950): One of the earliest known games to run on a computer, playing Tic-Tac-Toe using light bulbs for a display. ‎And then followed by some. ‎They are: ‎-OXO (1952) ‎-Tennis For Two (1958) ‎-Spacewar (1962) ‎-Computer Space (1961) ‎And finally, you guessed it! ‎-Pong on November 29, 1972. ‎ ‎Now let's jump to RTS. ‎What was your most favorites RTS? ‎Mine is Command and Conquer (C&C) Tiberian Dawn back in September 26, 1995. ‎ ‎Command & Conquer (C&C) is one of the most legendary real-time strategy (RTS) franchises ever made. ‎It played a massive role in shaping its genre, particularly in how it mixed fast-paced combat with cinematic storytelling. ‎ ‎C&C was not the first RTS, but it is often called the game that perfected and popularized the genre, just like Pong did. ‎ ‎While C&C (1995) made real-time strategy a massive mainstream success, several other games already paved the way. Those are: ‎ ‎-The Ancient Art of War (1984): This is one of the earliest games to use the "real-time" concept for strategy, though it lacked the base building and resource gathering we see in modern games. ‎ ‎-Herzog Zwei (1989): Released for the Sega Genesis, many historians cite this as the earliest "true" RTS. It featured real-time combat and unit management, though you controlled a single transforming mech to give those orders. ‎ ‎-Dune II (1992): Also made by Westwood Studios (the same creators of C&C), this is widely considered the true grandfather of the modern RTS. It established the "holy trinity" of the genre: base building, resource harvesting, and a technology tree. ‎ ‎-Warcraft: Orcs & Humans (1994): Released just one year before Command & Conquer, this game by Blizzard Entertainment helped ignite the famous Westwood vs. Blizzard rivalry that dominated the 90s. ‎ ‎Yes. We all knew there are so many C&C series since 1995. As of now, we can enjoy most of them by this one definitive package! ‎The truly solid remaster of how an RTS should be made—a perfect codifier that refined the blueprint for modern real-time strategy. ‎ ‎It’s perfect for first-timers and veterans alike. There’s even an online mode where you can show off your strategic prowess and flex on your adversaries, melting them into a puddle of envious jelly. ‎Just remember to always play it fair and square, dudes and dudettes! ‎Cheating is for losers. ‎Real gamers don't use cheats. ‎:3 ‎ ‎Ultimately, it’s more than just a game; it’s a powerful narrative on war, propaganda, and human nature. ‎With well-written plots and politically complex storylines, the line between heroes and villains often blurs. ‎So, now I will end it with one last crucial question: ‎ ‎"Which side are you on?"
