I first played it on the og PS.I tried it out on the PC yeeeeeears ago, like 95-96. I never could get into it that much. Haven't played it since the first version. What's interesting about it is that I used to play Herzog Zwei religiously and still play Starcraft/Starcraft Brood War, so it should have been easy to get into C&C, but for some reason it just didn't click with me.
I had never played anything like it. It was after that I learned it was a PC port.
I would then look for pirated copies on the internet and then eventually played it on PC
But I didn't get into a lot of the sequels that followed but I loved C&C: red alert.
