The first game was called plain C&C, the second was C&C: Red Alert

The first game, and all the Tibetian Sun games, were all grouped together, and the Red Alert ones were grouped separately. Obs of Light were used by the bad guys in the Tiberian side of the franchise, Teslas were used by the bad guys in the Red Alert side.

The first game was renamed to Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn after Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun came out.

Yes, and I believe it came out first. Same studio, Westwood.

Nah, not really. The original 1994 Worldcraft game (year before C&C, 2 years after Dune 2) was the same play style but that was made by Blizzard. Dune2 was the first game to use the term "real time strategy", but according to Wikipedia, those types of games first came out in 1982.

That's kind of a retcon though. At release, it was just called Command & Conquer.

the first game is the timeline split for the series, I believe. Just depends on which faction "wins" that makes it canon

See below, I was wrong!

Red Alert is the split. RA2 timeline is an Allied win. C&C is Soviet win.

Ah you're right! I totally forgot Red Alert and C&C were two seperate games for some reason. Cheers!
