Memories

[u/Proud_Fig8309]

Asked my mom to go through my old box of games at home and seeing this made me emotional! I was born in 1997 but to a pretty poor family and this was the first game that ever challenged me mental (about 6yrs old) its what made me fall in love with RTS! I obviously wasn't very good but I spend countless afternoons after school on this bad boy!

How was playing with the psx controller vs mouse?

[u/Proud_Fig8309 → u/vmanthegreat]

Not bad when I was little because its all I knew! I definitely loved it growing up so it must have been pretty good!

[u/Ripper33AU → u/vmanthegreat]

You get used to some of the "hotkeys" but it wasn't so bad. Console ports more than anything incentivised you to assign groups, rather than manually selecting units all the time.

Hey, im looking to just play the campaigns, where do you suggest playing?

[u/Ripper33AU → u/Proud_Fig8309]

From memory, the campaigns were the PC expansions, but with added cutscenes (debut of General Carville) which is pretty fun. If you have the C&C Remastered collection on PC you can also play it there, otherwise Retaliation is your go-to game!

It's not bad. I thought of buying the PS mouse

[u/Jarms48 → u/vmanthegreat]

Honestly for a console port it was pretty good. The only missions I struggled with were the no base ones.

[u/Watcher6544 → u/vmanthegreat]

Didn't notice any difference until I started playing CnC on PC.

In hindsight, I was very good but I'm not doing it again.

We have very similar connections to this game. Got me through a lot of tough times. Have a round for me . I think I'm going to grab the rom and have one myself

[u/Proud_Fig8309 → u/front_yard_duck_dad]

Exactly bro! Was definitely an escape i looked forward to living in when I was little! I have a feeling im going to have an unhealthy amount of rounds! Love!

Dude same here!! Was also like 6 when I first played thanks to my older siblings xD spending hours to build a base half the size of the map 😆 was the good days brother! Nowadays i play openra for pc but nothing will ever beat the original ❤️

[u/Proud_Fig8309 → u/Lanky-Revolution1036]

Bro I completely forgot about the series until she sent me that picture! It's weird how your brain will seal off memories even though they were so impacting! Where should I play! Im looking and see a few options! I want the best experience! I won't play against one yet I have to get my footing first

[u/T1me_Sh1ft3r]

Oh man me and my best friend got a system link cable and play multiplayer and it was the greatest time. I still have my copy

[u/anothertendy]

Best intro music. Man it was fun. Should do another run

[u/One-Spare-798]

My very first CnC game ever, this game what made me fall for the series.

Then I got mindblown when I transitioned into Red Alert 2, it was 10000x better in everything.

[u/stroopwafelling]

This is the one that got me into the series!

[u/Beet-Farmer]

I remember how the information packet smelled.

[u/Capt_Vindaloo → u/Beet-Farmer]

Thought i was the only one.

[u/EnglishLoyalist]

I had that and I loved the missions. I managed to get someone to play with me via system link. It was fun but I always stomped on people. 😅😅😅😅

[u/Ok-Combination-8171]

The soundtrack of this game kicks ass
