Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert reviewed by Era Games

Era Game Reviews, a nice series of old game review videos I've found on YouTube, feature both classic RTS games:

Review of Command & Conquer

Review of Command & Conquer: Red Alert

You'll probably learn nothing new about the games from the reviews, but they're very neatly done and pleasant to watch.

Watched the RA one.

 

All I can say is the lack of build queue is drag but what RA1 offers over TS makes up for it.

Oh shut up. You can't judge a game by lack of the features that were added in its sequels

You can't judge a game by lack of the features that were added in its sequels

Right! That would be anachronistic.

[Allen262]

Oh shut up. You can't judge a game by lack of the features that were added in its sequels

 

I'm not. I was saing given the choice I would and still do take RA1 over TS. If RA1 was as editable as TS I would never be modding TS. The lack of lack of build queue was in the video and I agree with that after playing TS and RA2*.

[Nyerguds]

...which means you ARE judging the game by lack of the features that were added in its sequels <_<

[MrFlibble]

You know, I've been thinking that any game can provoke thoughts like, "This is cool, but it would have been cooler if these or those features were added". Mods and new games in the genre get created this way. But sometimes you need to just accept a game for what it is, and learn to appreciate its features without wishing for more

[Nyerguds]

Indeed. On itself, that's a cool way of thinking... EXCEPT if the features are stuff you've already seen in that very same game's sequels. Because then you're basically just whining about features that they hadn't thought of back then -_-
