Released by EA as freeware.

Awesome games, my first introduction to RTS. Hope they'll run OK in Windows 7.

Ace!...great find OP!

Nice find... I'm surprised that EA are being gracious enough to not only offer it as freeware, but pay for the massive amounts of bandwidth that'll be used up as well!

Its unzips the play button in the wrong folder. Drag it into the "SUN" folder and try it again. It worked fine for me after this.

Is there online/multiplayer on this version?

A nice little boardsies jihad would be sweet.

I didn't realise there was a C&C forum!

Just create a shortcut from game.exe in the main TS directory. Then hit right-click, properties, compatibility tab. Then click run in compatibility for windows 98/ME. Works fine with that for me (Windows 7).

Yes there is, but I haven't tried it out.


The game also comes with a free save! Ooooh. It looks like one of the earlier boring missions where you get a couple of engineers. I hate those missions. :mad:

great news, seems I will not have too much sleep tonite

the only thing stopping me downloading this is the fact that i have so many games to play right now and it would be 2012 before i got round ro it

Great find! I had some trouble starting it at first, because the path was initially wrong and then a window popped up saying "some dlls are missing", but when clicking the "game.exe" directly with the right button, then chosing "run as administrator" it finally worked under vista. The bad news: I 've already wasted more time than I wanted to

i haven't played any of these games yet.
Which game do you think is best for someone new to C&C ?
Tiberian Sun , Tiberian dawn or re3d alert?

thanks

alfaz

Thank Sci for TCD LAN.

Nice one TCD LAN indeed!

Anyone know if this version of Tiberian Sun is LAN-ready for Windows XP etc, or will I need the thipx32.dll from strikeforce.net?

Edit : it does !!

spooky donkey

thanks for this will install it for my young lad later.

If you are having install trouble read the install guide on that link apparently it has to be installed in a specific way. Ill try tonight on win xp see how it goes for me.

Brian

Anyone have trouble with XP?
Getting an error message: FAILED TO INITIALIZE. PLEASE REINSTALL.
There doesn't seem to be admin access as users of Vista can do.
