It's amazing how we all spend our time posting that there are no cheat
codes for Red Alert and Command and Conquer, yet the AOLamers continue
to post requests for cheat codes.  Don't they know how to read
threads?  Does AOL's software delete any message saying that there are
no cheat codes?  To make matters even worse, is it written someplace
that if someone flames an AOLamer for posting a cheat code request,
other AOLamers must immediately send e-mail to the flamer asking for
the cheat codes?  I received no less than 12 e-mails this morning from
dumb-assed AOLamers in response to a message I posted.  My message was
flaming a stupid AOLamer (I realize that "stupid" and "AOLamer" are
redundant, but I digress) for asking for cheat codes.  I expected that
the mail replies were weak attempts at response flames by some
limp-dicked AOLamers who were going to call me names using no
punctuation (and hey, flames from AOLamers are entertaining - how many
different ways can YOU come up with to misspell "asshole?"  There are
at least four, judging from AOLamer hate mail), but NO, they were
AOLamers ASKING FOR CHEAT CODES!!!  Some of them even QUOTED my
original flame, yet they somehow thought that meant, "I have cheat
codes, send me e-mail!"  AAUUUGH!!

So, as a public service message to all you low-IQ AOLamers (again, a
redundancy) who can't seem to get a clue about this, go back and read
all the messages regarding cheat codes.  I highly doubt AOL's
half-assed mail reader can do subject or text searches, but scroll
through the last day or two's messages manually (assuming AOL even
keeps messages that long.)  Anywhere you see a cheat request, read the
replies.  Notice that the posters are usually quite annoyed that yet
another clueless AOLamer is asking once again for cheat codes.  Notice
also that the answer is always the same - there ARE NO CHEAT CODES.

If you are that fucking stupid that you don't know how to play Command
and Conquer or Red Alert without having to resort to cheating, then
return the game and let someone smarter play it.  When Red Alert first
came out, it was in such high demand that people couldn't find it for
the first week or so.  I shudder to think how many copies were wasted
by falling into the hands of some moronic AOLamer who has no idea how
to play any game unless they can make themselves invulnerable and blow
through the missions in one night.

C&C and RA are not DOOM.  There is no God mode.  There is no cheat
code to raise your money, give you all the weapons, or automatically
repair your units to turn the tables against the computer AI when it
is kicking your ass for the 20th time this week.  The game requires
SKILL and INTELLIGENCE, something AOLamers seem to have neither of,
judging from the whiny messages I am seeing lately.

There are hack programs for C&C and RA for building your own missions
and maps.  These can be used as cheat programs if you're smart enough
to know how to use them, but I doubt an AOLamer falls into that
category.  I have never seen a mission or map come from
