    If any of you are interested in CC Red Alert 1, you can download it for free today. It's celebrating CC's anniversary. Can't wait to try it out myself.

    Scroll down for the download links. Also, if you pre-order CC Red Alert 3, you'll get CC Red Alert 2 for free as well.

    to work with Vista:
    - get the free Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

    then you can play it and other old 2D games fine. :)


    .. or you can to run it on XP compatibility mode (I havent tried that yet)
