What is Command & Conquer?
Command & Conquer (C&C), later to become known as Tiberian Dawn, was released in 1995. C&C is the RTS classic that started it all, it revolutionized the gaming industry and captured the imagination of millions of fans around the world. Arguably C&C is the sole reason why the RTS genre is one of the most popular categories of PC gaming.
C&C features two sides, the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod, powerful units, an in depth storyline and most importantly....intense action!
There were actually two versions of Command & Conquer released. The original C&C DOS version was first as mentioned above. Then in 1997 Westwood upgraded the game by utilizing the SVGA graphics that can be seen in Red Alert and added support for Westwood Online so the game could played via the Internet.
