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

Computer Games Magazine

An adrenaline rush in a box...Everything about this game shouts quality.

GameSpot

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.

PC Gamer

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!

Command & Conquer is truly the definition of what a RTS game should be. Not only that, it still is the pinnacle the RTS genre and started one of the greatest series of games in gaming history. I remember getting this game way back in 97 and playing it for hours. Even my dad played a lot too. It took me forever to beat the game because of how much you have to strategize to beat each mission; sending your units at the most opportune time, sending the right units, organizing your units to optimize their potential, all in the midst of fending off the enemy and gaining ground. Most importantly, the story is amazing. Full-motion Videos really set this game off to. I can still vividly remember the briefing for the final GDI mission; the general is distraught, clearly tired, and generally pissed off. It really made the game just that more realistic. Is and always will be one my all-time favorite games EVER!

CnC created new genre, with fascinating music and storyline, and with main feature of CnC - FMV movies.

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.

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!

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.

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.
