Something free

Well, who said that nothing is free in this world? Well, almost everything... except, something comes along sometime.

In conjunction with the 12th Anniversary celebration for C&C, EA games is proudly presenting the first part of its celebration by releasing the games that has spawned hundreds of clones all these years, yes.. ladies and gentleman. Presenting C & C Gold edition for XP available for download.

I remembered the first time I played the game back in 1995, when I first saw it at my local computer club (there's no cyber cafe so to speak at that time) - ZEN, I thought hmmm what kinda game is this? That guy is controlling a bunch of soldiers. Walking and 'creating' roads along the way whereas the surrounding is shrouded in shadows.
After I gave the game a try, I've realized that they are not creating but revealing surrounding areas as they explored the map. haha, silly me, well... since then I've played lots of nice RTS - C&C series, Red Alert, Warcraft series, Starcrafts, Total Annihilation... etc etc etc.

Brings back good memories, especially during the 3 man free for all matches we used to have with the crazy strategy of loading engineers in a few APCs and rushing in to opponent's base and let all hell loose! or just sit around your base building defences (obelisk of light anyone?) while waiting for your superweapon to charge up! hahahahaha...

Point your browser to EA Games for the download. You'll need a special software to mount the ISO image and do a little bit of 'tweaking' to get the game runs on Windows XP.

Have fun!
