Going over some quick basic strategies for single player mode in Red Alert 1. This is a great game to play if you don't have a very good computer and you don't have much cash to shell out on video games because:

  1. System requirements are very low
  2. Red Alert 1 is now freeware

Classic Red Alert screenshotHere's a mission I wrote up for Red Alert 1 (by the way, Red Alert 1 has now been declared as freeware). The mission is called 'Jackpot' and it's a Soviet vs. Soviet production mission —meaning you get to build a base— and I would love to get your feedback on this. This page also has a couple of video walkthroughs which cover the first twenty minutes or so of the mission to give you a better idea of what this mod is all about. This mission itself is a no-brainer to install and run. Full step-by-step instructions are provided. Check it out!...

Classic Red Alert 1 is now freeware...First of all, it seems from the numerous comments on my Youtube page featuring a walkthrough of Jackpot, my Red Alert mission mod, that many are unaware that the old, original Red Alert 1 is now officially freeware. So it bears repeating that you can now download and install Red Alert 1 completely free of charge. This page will show you where to get the download and secondly will show you exactly how to install it so that it will run it on Windows XP (runs fine on XP)...

Old video game classic, Red Alert 1Here is what the video game Red Alert used to look like back in its heyday before it got slightly overcooked with all that co-commander razzamatazz you see in Red Alert 3, the latest offering in this franchise. This page will give you a complete overview of the original title that turned Command & Conquer into a gamer's household phrase as well as provide links to strategy guides and whatnot...
