    Man, I loved Red Alert. The music, the cheesy FMV cutscenes, the babes, and OMG Tanya.

    *Draws dual pistols*

    "Cha-Ching!"

    *Murders a platoon of Russian conscripts*

    "Shake it, baby!"

    *Murders a train of attack dogs*

    C&C Generals + Zero Hour all the way. Just that I can't get the Origin version of this to run, but my *ahem* CD ripped version works just fine.

    Tell me about it. My Uplay games are the same way. When all else fails, Jack Sparrow is always there to save the day. :p

    Loved the Genrals series as well. However, the Origin version won't let me run the Shockwave mod :(

    Or, I haven't figured out how yet. Works just fine on my CD version...

    Hmm, you guys peaked my interest and the Origin C&C Ultimate Collection C&C Generals seems to work now. I just wish they'd offer proper widescreen support. There is a workaround, but they could have at least put in a little bit of effort to support modern screen resolutions, especially when you know it's capable.

    W T F is a referral link? All links were from IsThereAnyDeal.com. Is it NBR policy to shoot first and ask questions later?!

    Yup, the Alpha wasn't even that bad, and with the right marketing I recon it would have been a success. The irony is just bought my father this collection from Amazon and it this is on the front cover.

    KEY FEATURES

    This incredible value includes:
    17 Command & Conquer titles via digital download, updated to run on the Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems
    Early access to the next Command & Conquer game.

    For what it's worth I appreciated the heads up about the deal.

    @ octiceps:
    For the record, the infraction has been reversed. It appears that IsThereAnyDeal com appends referral tags to their links. We have a very strict policy against referral tags because many times before, referral tags have been used to monetize our forums. Please make sure to directly link to deals and strip the referral tags when you post in the future.

    P.S.: We appreciate users posting deals and helping other users.

    For anyone that missed this on Amazon and is still interested, it's now $4.99 on GreenManGaming. Plus, there is an additional 22% off if using the New Years coupon code posted on the site (HAPPYN-EWYEAR-22OFFG) dropping the final price to around $4. DEAL!

    Should mention that unlike the previous Amazon deal, this is North America only.
