However you play, you’ll enjoy limitless hours of RTS Command & Conquer gaming with 10 base games and 7 in-depth expansion packs.

Success in battle requires more than just a keen battle strategy. Fight for control as you struggle to collect the resources necessary to build new bases, troops, and weaponry, all while keeping the enemy at bay. Command and Conquer everything. Explore the wide range of Command & Conquer games and fight every war from both sides! Rediscover the epic conflicts across two decades of gameplay. Take a first-person view of the C&C universe through Command & Conquer: Renegade – the series’ one and only first-person shooter – or start playing from the very beginning and enjoy the frenetic style of combat, immersive strategy and campy banter that launched a generation of strategy warfare games.

Some of the best LAN party games I've ever played with friends and family. It was fun to play with much better action than most of the RTS strategy games in the same vintage. The video cutscenes were fantastic and it felt so good to play both sides. Lots of value in this bundle!

This is one of the games I still want to keep on playing. Making them all easily available again online would be great. I've lost CD's and replaced PC's o had them on. Please make this happen.

I played the very first one on my windows 95 powered machine and have been hooked ever since. This true innovation of RTS deserves preservation. Soo many have come since using what was pioneered within this game series.

In my childhood, I loved the game play and stories. I feel it would be a terrible loss of a great series, some stronger than others but all have their merits. Generals is my favourite due to running ease and mids but the red alert series are just as good for me without changes. Great stories and quotes, just un catchable. It truly is the immersion in this universe that has me comming back from modern games.

I recently replayed through the series, but the versions of this collection have some issues with modern hardware. If GoG could get them and improve the useability along with things such as make streaming work without having to jump through hoops, I would gladly buy them again.

I've beaten every game in the series. That music by Frank Klepacki is so awesome! The wacky story, the cheesy acting... it's so good. We used to play it at LAN parties back in the day. I've got this collection on my shelf, but it requires a disc drive and patches for games that should run easily on a laptop with modern integrated graphics, so I'd happy buy it again from GOG to have the perfect version of it. Please give us the Remastered Collection while you're at it! Bonus points if you can give us a way to relive the installation process, which itself was a treat on the original games! Best installation process in the history of installers. Mind was blown before even getting into the game.

Games like command and conquer were a huge part of my childhood. I was and still am addicted to the fun action RTS games of this era provided. Hundreds and hundreds of hours have been spent by me playing these games. Command and conquer games are amazing and still hold up to this day.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
