Command & Conquer is what got me into pc gaming. This hit me in the feels.

When game OSTs were actually better than mainstream songs used in video games

My first game I bought as a kid was CnC:TibSun in the box. Something like 27yrs ago. 😭😭

Tiberian Sun was the first collector's edition game I bought. I wish I still had the gdi pewter figure.

I remember being stoked when I found a Command and Conquer Red Alart cd at a garage sale. Shit was like 4-5 years old and it was the first game my older sister and I bonded over. Very fond memories.

I remember downloading the OG C&C demo on dads computer with dialup. It felt like eternity waiting for a few mb demo to download. Good times.

I played the demo on a computer at Sears. It was amazing.

iirc, demo was ~200mbyte and entire game on disk was ~700mbyte

First game I bought for my Saturn (that I won). I played the living shit out of the game. I still have some of the audio files from the discs. They could be played like a regular CD in a CD player. You just had to skip the first track because it was the data for the game.

I ended up having to buy c&c for the saturn twice after the disk broke, lol. Those last missions were hard.

I was a ranked player in TibSun, parents weren't amused because the phone bill. It was a different time.

My kids are into gaming as well though it's different today. They are girls so sure they have a different preference gaming wise, but modern games are a different beast compared to what we grew up with. It's not that one is better than the other, but looking at Eggy Party or Minecraft, they are very cool but it just doesn't have the feel I had with C&C, CS1.1-1.6, Sim City2000 etc.

I played the crap out of Dune II which is C&C's direct ancestor
