Command & Conquer: The First Decade
I have yet to finish installing it yet, but I would bet that I would be had not the installation setup wizard not being so lame.
One could actually be so lazy to not buy this game because of te stupid thing you must do before installation. We all are used to having to type in a key for a game, but imagine having to type in a key for EACH game this condempendium comes with!
I could probably expect this if it were all separate, you know those big boxes you buy and you get the CD's for the games separate so you kinda have to install them all one by one.
But this is all on one DVD, a single installation. Not only does each GAME have it's own key code, but the box set itself has it's own. That's 7 or 8 keys to type in and make sure you typed in correctly. The only upside is that it was all on a single form, but the downside is figuring out where you messed up if you did.
Ohh well, the last C&C I played was Tiberian Sun, so it's nice to be able to see what Generals was like and Renegade.

but CnC 3 is on its way
Personally I loved the C&C games (C&C, Red Alert) but it started to irk me when it reached Tiberian Sun because the graphics seemed... almost cartoony. When Red Alert 2 came out I almost cried. Not only were the graphics... well, cartoony wouldn't cover it, they were just... awful not to mention the game seemed to run 4 times faster than it should, as if you were playing it in super speed.
Renegade is a little dated now (ergo rough graphics, not much to impress) but is... interesting none the less as it is like playing Red Alert (1) through from first person.
The plus side is that all the games (erm, minus Generals) work, even the original C&C and you don't have to worry about finding all... 17 discs is it in total? heh. Generals doesn't seem to work, it freezes on the copy protection, but Zero Hour (the Generals expansion) DOES work.
I miss the old days of proper manuals (i.e. NOT a PDF on the disc), free things in the box (T-Shirts, maps, random "cool stuff") and such. I mean, what incentive do people have to buy games these days? Hell, with Steam and D2D you don't even get a hard-copy of the game anymore. What happens if you had purchased a copy of a game through one of those two, your HD dies and that company goes bust? Worrying thought.
Red Alert (1) with the Generals Engine would be nice. Generals had a great engine (I mean, at this point RA2 was just... a joke, it was more like a comic than an RTS) but it was... nothing to do with C&C at all, which, I miss the cinematics. They also aren't skippable on Generals which can be highly irritating.
Umm, not really...
In the image I attached the codes should be on the booklet that looks like the one in the bootm left...
Hey, I do too!
But we probably won't get a response from the newbie *caugh* spammer *caugh* who just happened to revive a 20 month old thread
p.s for earlyer post codes are on back of book ty
