Boot Disk: Red Alert 2


Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!


Now that Red Alert and Tiberian Sun have been released as freeware in anticipation of C&C4's release, Red Alert 2 is the oldest Command and Conquer game that one can still buy. For many people, it's also the best game in the franchise. This may be due to the fact that this was the last Command and Conquer game (RTS, anyway) Westwood Studios ever made. After Renegade, which wasn't an RTS, Westwood largely moved to Petroglyph and the series was taken over by internal EA studios. Red Alert 2 is the last main Command and Conquer game to bear the Westwood label, and it is definitely worthy of it. After all, nothing quite says "awesome" as 10 bomb-bearing airships descending upon an enemy base!
