EA is offering Westwood Studios’ seminal RTS Command & Conquer Gold as a free download starting today on the Command & Conquer website. The full game download, commemorating the August 31 release of the game 12 years ago, comprises two ISO image files and is also hosted on FileShack for your downloading pleasure.
We’ve got both ISOs up for download at FileShack. Get the the United Nations’ Global Defense Initiative (GDI) disc here and the Brotherhood of Nod disc here. This version of Command & Conquer Gold is Windows XP compatible and identical to the version included in the compilation Command & Conquer: The First Decade. EA has also provided installation instructions for the game.
I think I was in the middle of moving while this happened last year… but WOW! This is a free download - just burn the ISOs to disk and you’re good to go.
I was thinking about world domination, and that reminded me of good old Command and Conquer. Well, I was delighted to find out that not only is the game free, but the Windows 95 version (which, I understand, is patched for XP) includes TCP/IP support, so it can be played multi-player over the Internets. The old version for DOS was limited to IPX play, so it was necessary to do 2-player modem games, or use an IPX encapsulation tool like Kali. Enjoy!
