An awesome game, and exceptional fun. If you're a fan of "Dune II" or "Warcraft" then this one will be a winner.

Playing the entire conflict in the role of the other side makes for twice the gameplay value, and I don't even want to think about what's going to happen when the six-player networkable version comes out. Highly, highly recommended.

If you like strategy gaming, get Command & Conquer. [Nov 1995, p.108]

All Game Guide
This is such a fast paced game and there is so much action at any given time on the screen that keeping up could give you a slight case of carpal tunnel syndrome!

[Anonymous] gave it a10:
An all-time classic, and the real start of the real-time strategy genre. The storyline remains fascinating as well, even after a full decade.

PARANOiA gave it a10:
I got this game when I was 8 years old, and didn't put it down for a few years. Though its hard to run on my PC now, I still manage... I still remember everything from when I was younger. I have 3 copies now, I lost one of them, bought one at goodwill, and then got another for Preordering C&C; 3!

Peter W. gave it a9:
I think this is a good game I have C&C; Decade and even thoght I like C&C; Generals I still think this is good, it is a shame there is no online muiliplayer.

Taz gave it a10:
The first and only C&C; game as far as I'm concerned. Command & Conquer is the pinnacle of Strategy Gaming, forever to be remembered as the best of the best.

Jan gave it a10:
This game was just mindblowing when it was released in 1995. Every single part of this Game 2 steps ahead of its competitors, units, mission briefings, the legendary soundtrack the overall coolness. The demo alone made us sit in front of the PC for like two weeks in the middle of the summer. Clear 10 out of 10.

Yadgiri gave it a10:
A classic that has made so many people fall inlove with the genre.

Freddie T. gave it a10:
