Amazon.com Product Description:
In 1995, a young game studio named Westwood released one of the first real-time strategy games. They had created the genre a few years earlier, but this title took the fledgling genre to new heights with impressive graphics, revolutionary gameplay features and an enthralling story told through the then-young art of full motion video. After twelve successful games spread out over ten years, the venerable Command & Conquer franchise has become synonymous with the real-time strategy genre it popularized, and the entire series is now available on one disc in Command & Conquer The First Decade.


Command & Conquer the First Decade collects the entire Command and Conquer library on one disc.


Red Alert offers mixes vintage World War 2 vehicles with some distinctly modern touches. View larger.


Generals is more geared for the current gamer, with a contemporary setting and modern graphics. View larger.


Tiberian Sun updates the classic Command and Conquer game, continuing the storyline with improved gameplay and graphics. View larger.


Battle the old-fashioned way with the original Command & Conquer, watch an alternate World War II unfold in Command & Conquer Red Alert or control the modern warfield in Command & Conquer Generals--all three of Command & Conquer's worlds are open to nostalgic gamers and modern aficionados alike.



Tiberian Dawn
Old friends await the seasoned gamer in the original Command & Conquer universe, as the fanatical Brotherhood of Nod battles the Global Defense Initiative in a war over the mineral Tiberium. Whether playing as the Brotherhood and obeying the charismatic Kane's every command or taking control of GDI forces as they seek to save the world from Kane's ambition, every detail of Command & Conquer is just as you remember it. The original full motion videos tell the story in what was once cutting-edge and is now quaint, and the gameplay is simple as can be. Gather Tiberium to produce tanks, infantry and more to decide the fate of the world, or try to connect to others with one of the first online game-finding services!



Bring the original storyline to a close in Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun, and determine the fate of the world--or, if you want a break from the strategy formula, take control of a GDI Commando in the recent Command & Conquer Renegade, a first person shooting game set in the Tiberium universe. See the world of C&C up close and personal from Nick "Havoc" Parker's point of view as he fights a one-man war against the forces of Nod armed with a diverse arsenal of weapons and one-liners.



Engage in heated battles over nameless fields and familiar territory alike in your struggle to save the world. View larger.


The Red Menace
Perhaps the most popular game of the franchise, Command & Conquer Red Alert asks the question, "What if Albert Einstein mastered time travel, then used it to go back in time and kill Hitler?" The answer is a world at war not with Nazi-led Germany, but the rapidly expanding Soviet Union under Stalin's iron fist. Dip into the world of historical fiction as the Allied forces take on the Soviet bloc in a war fought not just by soldiers, planes and tanks, but by time travelers, psychics and giant tesla coils. This more refined and advanced real time strategy game features gameplay innovations that greatly influenced the games that followed, including building queues and other convenient options, providing a nice balance between nostalgia and playability.



A World at War
While Command & Conquer takes place in the future and Red Alert in the past, Command & Conquer Generals offers its version of the present, as the United States, China and a terrorist group known as GLA battle all over the world. The most game-oriented of the series, Generals contains no FMV like its predecessors, concentrating instead on pure 3D gameplay as well as the wry humor that peppered the previous games.



In all, Command & Conquer The First Decade contains not only the games that defined a genre, but the history of that genre. Players can experience the evolution of the real-time strategy game as they play each game in sequence, and see for themselves how far the technology has come since 1995--but also find out that the old games still have some life left in them.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Item!
This game was in great brand new condition. I like every campaign. If your not a command and conquer fan, once you play this you will be!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - High nostalgia value
If you ever wanted to give the oldest command and conquer games a try this is where you go. I grew up with the very first command and conquer game and remember how much fun it was back then. Playing again now though I realize the game has not aged well at all. It can be boring tedious and repetitive. Red Alert, Red Alert 2 and Tiberian Sun are more worth your time but the orginial Command and Conquer is a chore. If you wanted to give these games a try rhis is where you go and it is worth the money. Some of these games are still fun to play today(Like Red Alert 2 and Generals) just be prepared to not be astounded. Their strengths is only in their balanced gameplay and interesting campaingins(excluding Generals since it doesn't realy have one).


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Broken
Some good games in a package that'ss full of bugs. This game bundle was put together by a 3rd party and done horribly. They have patches but gave up on most of the bigger problems. People are still waiting for patches that EA has decided to go ahead and cancel. Good luck finding the solutions online from fansites to get everything working. I suggest buying the games you really want out of this package seperatly for a lot less hastle.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than expected
I knew Red Alert I from my student days, and now the kid is playing Red Alert II and Yuri's revenge all the time. It was easily installed on Windows XP, and works like a charm. Very high value for the money. After so many years I still can't find another game as fun as this one in its network mode.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AWESOME GAME EXPERIENCE
AT LAST THEY CAME OUT IN ONE GIGANTIC GAME OF THE DECADE. WESTWOOD ROCKS, I REALLY LIKE TANYA AND THE SUPPORT GIRL FROM THE RED ALERT 2 AND YURI'S REVENGE..... DO YOU KNOW THESE GIRLS... I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM AGAIN IN ONE GAME FROM WESTWOOD STUDIOS....... OVER ALL REVIEW IS FIVE *****
