It was a rip-off of the AT-AT, but I still have a soft spot for the Mammoth Mk.II from C&C Tiberian Sun… though not so happy it loses to the Cyborg Commando.

This uses the Oil 6 palette, which is something I’ve wanted to try for a while.

Okay, the Tiberian Sun track was actually called Killing Machine, but close enough

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun is an autistic fixation of mine. I don't play it often and I'm not very good at it, and it's not a very balanced game that, as I understand, was rushed to shit.

But two things:

GOD this game's aesthetic is fucking immaculate. there's something i seriously fell in love with about how this game sells the desolate, alien world that Earth has become in the story in its spritework, lighting and music. the look imho still holds up amazingly today even though it has goofy FMV, and i enjoy the FMV in its own right because of how unapologetically hammy it feels. it's something i think everyone should enjoy at least once. which leads perfectly into...

It's free. https://cnc-comm.com/tiberian-sun/downloads/the-game/installer

Tiberian Sun and its Firestorm expansion have been freeware since 2010 and is updated to be playable comfortably on modern PC firmware, including multiple different choices of renderer in case one doesn't work for you. it'll likely take a bit of finegling to get it to run well and not glitch out (for example, my pause menu likes to disappear when alt-tabbing, if i'm running DDrawCompat in windowed mode), but i think that it's worth it if you enjoy any kind of RTS.

this is by no means a perfect game, but i want to see people enjoy the game whose Vibes remain stuck in my brain like a foot-long rail spike.

Maddy: Gonna stream a classic command and conquer game over at https://www.twitch.tv/aurysystem might be a little different than we remember.

Command & Conquer games scored at Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 17.

C&C Sole Survivor Online is an obscure title in the C&C library. Based on the original C&C, it was turned into a short-lived online-only experience where you guide a soldier around a battlefield and upgrade up with crates to fight other players. The servers have been down for maybe 25 years now? I recently heard that fans resurrected the server functionality, so I'll have to try this out.

C&C Red Alert: The Aftermath is an expansion to Red Alert, adding more missions and units. I've always wanted a physical copy.

C&C Tiberian Sun: Firestorm is the expansion to Tiberian Sun adding 2 new campaigns and new units. I've never had a jewel case for this game before.

I've always said my favourite music is the kind that would play in the background of a chill 00s sci-fi game like spore or Tiberian sun.

This, this artist is exactly that vibe.

I've done it

It's ugly as sin, mostly metal and badly in need of mechanical depth and multiplayer ai, but ladies and gentlemen, we have done it!

A playable Forgotten Faction in multiplayer! Again, not real news in the Tiberian Sun modding community, but this is still absolutely huge for me. Using what I learned from my previously mentioned tutorial build, and with the help of a fellow modder, I've successfully made a third side available in my personal copy of Tiberian Sun.

Genuinely didn't think I'd ever pull something like this off. I'm fairly well aware that I'm more of a dreamer than a do-er, so caught up in the fantasy of what I want that I don't make what I want, and that this modding was an idle pastime that would never really go anywhere. I still have a long way to go, but looking back now at the impossible, I see second nature instead. Keep at your idle fancies, and you will too.

This was a lot funnier in my head but here it is anyway
