Command and Conquer, one of the first games I had an insatiable hunger to play.

Command and Conquer was for me, the first love I had with a videogame. Back when it was released, RTS (Real Time Strategy) games hadn't flooded the market yet. I was new to the RTS market, and I found my niche...I couldnt get enough...I wanted more. I play RTS games these days and wish I could get the same feeling for them that I had for C&C back in the days of old. The graphics were good for the time, I would suggest the windows95 version over the DOS version however, it adds something to the element of gameplay. The music fits the game perfectly, you couldnt ask for a better pairing. The game has decent replay value, as you can play either the GDI (good) or the Brotherhood of NOD (bad). After that however, it really depends on how much you liked the game that will determine exactly how much value you can get out of C&C. For me, I have gotten above and beyond the value that I could have wished for, it seems when I havent played this game for a while I get a hunger to play it again, even though I have beaten it around 8 times (1 just days before this review). If you are new to videogames however, you probably wont have a lot of fun with this one, because by now, naturally, there are many other RTS games out there that far exceed C&C. But for guys like me that grew up with it.....keep the memories alive, its all we have to get us through the drudgery of todays games sometimes.
