As a promotion for the upcoming release of Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Electronic Arts has announced that C&C: Red Alert, the first game in the series, will be made available as a free download beginning on Sunday. The original game was created by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive way back in 1996 (EA bought both Westwood and Virgin's US operations in 1998).

The alternate history RTS game will be first made available on the official C&C: Red Alert 3 web site at 12 noon PT on Sunday but we will have the download on our ultra fast servers right here at Big Download soon afterward. As we have previously reported, people whe pre-order Red Alert 3 will gain access to C&C: Red Alert 2 for free as well.
