Let's Play Command & Conquer: Red Alert 95 - Soviets 10
6"Sorry, Comrade Kukov, there is a bit of leftover MiG on your shoulder..."
"Flanker? I hardly even know 'er!"
"Please try not to make jokes about our glorious hardware supporting the motherland."
"I'm sorry, I don't know any Convoy jokes..."
And yes I know the MiG-29 is the Fulcrum, and the Su-27 is the Flanker. Even if they look nothing at all like the MiG-23s (27s?) that we actually field. I didn't flunk Flanker training, did you?
After their first surprise hit, Westwood Studios upped the ante with Command & Conquer: Red Alert. A landmark game in the annals of gaming history, Red Alert introduces to the commander all new naval and air units, including strike fighters. All of this is just so great, and it was released right around the time internet gaming was picking up. Back in my day, there were tons of skirmish matches being played all over the globe. Cool or what?
Of course this is not to denigrate the single-player campaign. Westwood rolled all the dice with having an actual Stalin actor. And the cut-scenes are just much more than the original C&C could deliver... really, Red Alert is essentially 'Command & Conquer: More Edition'.
The great thing about Command & Conquer contrasting to other real time strategy games, is that the sides are not balanced at all. The Allies have all the naval ships, the Soviets get all the cool air power, the Soviets have big damn tanks and the Allies... don't? And the base defenses... this game made the Tesla Coil iconic. It is really great in all the ways.
