Command & Conquer (CnC): Red Alert Full Version Game Free Download (With Counterstrike and The Aftermath)

Command & Conquer: Red Alert is the second game in the Command & Conquer (C&C or CnC) franchise series of real-time strategy computer game. Command & Conquer (C&C): Red Alert was produced by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive in 1996. Although it’s successor to original Command & Conquer of 1995, Command & Conquer Red Alert is actually prequel to the original Command and Conquer C&C1. C&C Red Alert takes place in the unspecified period in the 1950s during early history of the alternate universe of Command & Conquer, a parallel universe which was inadvertently created by Albert Einstein to prevent the horrors of World War II, when Allied Forces battle an aggressive Soviet Union for control over the European mainland.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert was originally released for PC running on MS-DOS and Windows 9x (95, 98, Me) legacy operating system, and was subsequently ported to PlayStation, PSP and PS3. It’s one of the most popular computer games, and was praised for its user interface, which claimed to be more developed than the competing games of its time, and was one of the first games to feature competitive online play. Players could queue commands, create unit groups that could be selected by a number key, and control numerous units at a time. The game was known to be easy to control, simple to learn and responsive to users’ commands. It also featured two factions that had differing styles of play. The single player campaign also received high praise for its detailed story line and missions, which often required the player to defeat the enemy with various sets of circumstances before continuing, and was complemented by live action cinematic sequences.
