Well, I’ve certainly gone back and replayed CnC, after finding out about its free release. Mainly because its actually the gold version, and I only own the original dos version, with graphics that are even more crap…
You can play the game without the cds, just copy all the *.mix files into the cnc dir. You’ll notice that there is one general.mix on each cdimage, so you’ll have to copy/rename them depending on which faction you’re intending to play.

They’ve probably done what happens with quite a lot of this stuff – taken an old pirate version and said ‘yeah, sod it, let them have it’.

Still, nice to have. I’ve bought this no less than three times.

That is pretty brilliant, especially for €A (ho! ho! Did you see what I did there?). What’s with the burning it onto CD first, though?

Original command & conquer is the best of the lot. Everyone should go back and play it.

It’s testament to my laziness that, rather than stand up and grab my old boxed copy of C&C off my shelf (which would involve /stretching/ I would rather wait many hours to download the game from their somewhat stretched servers.
