Fight as the Global Defense Initiative or the Brotherhood of Nod as they clash over the rare mineral Tiberium in the classic original series.

However you play, you’ll enjoy limitless hours of RTS Command & Conquer gaming with 10 base games and 7 in-depth expansion packs. Note: GameSpy ended all hosted game services in 2014, which affects the online multiplayer aspect of one or more games in the collection. Learn more about this in our FAQ. Game Features: Engage in intense, strategic battles. Make the most of every move as you order soldiers, vehicles, and aircraft across large maps filled with enemies, traps, and mission-critical resources. Move single troops, select small groups, or issue a unified attack order to all allies as you work to defeat the opponent. Collect, create, conquer. 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.

Red Alert 2 and the expansion are practically the only RTS game anyone needs to ever play, and definately in my list of best games of all time. The acting, art, and gameplay are top tier, if not for being good, but for being iconic. PullTL

I have memories of the original games, not the ultimate collection. But fair enough. They deserve to be accessible to the public forever as they are key pieces of the gaming history and culture.

Too many hours "wasted" finishing all the games in the pack. Too few hours enjoying all of them. And still listening to the fantastic soundtracks and playing from time to time...

I play in many games from that franchise. First was Red Alert 2 (altough first i saw was intro from Red Alert 1 on Poznań International Games Fair somevere around mid 90). Then when i bought my first PC was simple Renegade, Tiberian series new games from both series... and very good C&C Generals( i never understood why they dont make Genarals 2). Little pain in the ass was need to upgrade hardware witch is never cheap but thats the things going in the world. Anyway many, many good memories and when i play again its like 30 years less...

Red Alert 1&2 kept me off the streets. I fell in love with the music, the art and the characters. My parents didn't have to worry about me. The creators show their love and pride with every pixel. Please bring it back. High speed, low drag.

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!

C&C is the first AAA rts I was exposed to growing up. Original C&C and its descendants bring warm feelings to my heart. Gog, this one is meant to be kept alive for future generations.

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.

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.
