as a sidenote Petroglyph (the original team behind C&C) has announced its latest game: "star wars: empire at war" the screens look quite nice. You can view them here

While the team behind Red Alert 2 is further milking the C&C title with Red Alert 3.

Red Alert is not abandonware, otherwise they wouldn't be making sequels (Same to all those sites that put Warcraft on their pages) It's still being sold all around stores.

thats what I said.
If it was abandonware they wouldn't be selling it in dvd-boxes

What's weird though, is that almost nobody owns W98, or under, so this game is basicly incompatible with most systems that we have today.

no, thats not true.
I can plain it on windows XP. There is a patch for it.

Yeah, but that's not a patch for the game itself (??) I mean, it's not made for it, it doesn't have right out of the box compatibility and usually that warrants a game to be withheld from stores.

yes it is, I think the patch was even on the CD.

No, my bro bought a brand new copy, he said it didn't work, (Error: You need at least W95) and that was a few weeks ago.

One question, when I play Tiberium Dawn, why does the sound get all choppy and messed up?

Look I know what i'm talking about. I bought the game myself in the DVD package and I can play it right now straight on windows XP with the patch made for red alert.
