When I was younger I had a few. I think it started with Tiberium Dawn, but can't be for sure. I know Tiberium Sun with Firestorm was my favorite back then. Thank God for TFD for showing me the way to Renegade and the others I missed. Satisfied

The first one i bought was RA2. Really quick after that i bought TS. Later i bought TFD to have them all Thumbs Up

RA2 was the starter for me, though TS was more fun (beside the AI rushing Devils Tongues xD). It had more options and gameplay value imo

Tiberian Sun, I played it all the time on my old laptop in the living room, while my Mum and Dad watched television. I loved the skirmish mode as Nod building up a self sufficient base that the AI could not defeat, but I could leave for hours, with self repairs etc etc...

For me it was the Tiberian Dawn demo back in 1995, though I had been playing Westwood games prior to TD.

Though mind you, I've played Renegade the most, followed by TD, RA2, TS, and RA1. I've played Generals plenty, but C&C3 only a dozen or so times, and RA3 twice.

I played Renegade first.

Then Red Alert 2 > Yuri's Revenge > Tiberian Dawn demo > Generals demo > Tiberian Sun demo > Tiberian Sun > Generals > Tiberian Dawn > Red Alert 1 > Zero Hour > Tiberium Wars > Kane's Wrath > Red Alert 3 > Tiberian Twilight Beta.

Yea, I'm all over the place.

I've played Renegade the most. My favorite universe is the Tiberium universe but RA3 is my favorite RTS C&C so far.

My cousin gave me a whole bag of CD's (games) years ago. It included Tiberian Dawn Gold, and I instantly got hooked. I later learned of Renegade from the Westwood FTP demo folder, of all places.

Heck yeah.
Best part - it's freeware now so anyone can download it to a PC or laptop and play it easy. Thumbs Up

I remember I had played Tiberian Dawn on the Nintendo 64. Was pretty dang fun, liked it alot, but I don't remember it too much. Then I got Red Alert: Retaliation for the Playstation 1. That's when I started to really get into C&C- playing lots of skirmishes and having fun with the ant missions and etc. I remember seeing TS but never really played it as I didn't own it.

Came across RA2, that was loads of fun. I remember especially liking that I could take over cities via garrisoning.

Later, I got something called the C&C Collection. Had TS, RA2, FS, YR, and Renegade. That's when I got into Renegade and TS alot. TS definitely got my attention the most though, couldn't believe how awesome it was... also started to learn how to mod on TS Very Happy.

Haha, that's almost the same as me. I played the C&C 1 demo to death, off some PC magazine cover disk, but I couldn't afford to buy the full game because I was just a kid. I didn't manage to get hold of the full game until much later.

Part of the fun was making those demo missions last as long as possible. Especially the one where you had a full base and you started with six Mammoth Tanks that you couldn't replace. I was disappointed to find that the real version of the mission just gave you some Medium Tanks instead. But even with the Mammoth Tanks, I would find that mission really hard. The Obelisk would keep getting rebuilt and I couldn't figure out that it would stop if you killed the Construction Yard.

I obviously also played nearly all expansion packs, just forgot to add them Razz.

Yeah, the demo came with no instructions at all, really. I remember that I kept getting "silo's needed" and couldn't figure out wtf they wanted. I also remember finding out on accident after i already played a LOT of games that you could scroll down the list in the vertical scrollbar Neutral.

You are a rare breed, most players found Renegade because they was a CnC fan. It's a real shame.

That game is very amazing. And I have to correct a thing here Smile
It is very playable even on 64bit pc's even online->
http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/cnc95upd/cc95p106/

Download the complete thing 98.7 mb. It includes resolution patch multiplayer patch and a 1 person langame option.

And with CnCnet or hamachi you can play it online ->

For me RA1 started it but soon after I played it I bought all the other cncgames. (When they came out that is)
