kinda depends on what your into

1) original C&C, aka Tiberian Dawn ..win95 version aka C&C gold... by far
the best single player missions, videos, overall fun of the game..not just
playing but enjoying.. cutting edge gamesmanship that rocked the world and
set the new standard.... the mulitplayer is good, but being so old can only
play one on one with  a person..also no skirmish..also graphics are circa
1995 so again, it's all about the game, substance over beauty....I played
since 1996 til 2000....expansion pack Covert Ops excellent....

2)Red Alert original..on par with C&C Dawn, good missions, videos, fun not
as much, but then again Tanya does make up for that.." I'm There"... i never
played multiplayer, too much emphasis on one tactic, tank rushes...graphics
not much better that the original...no skirmish,..cannot comment on 2
expansion packs...

3)Tiberian Sun..piss poor single missions, no soul in game...sux big time.
nothing was cutting edge or new....but wait, the skirmish and multiplayer
make up for that... i have played multipaler for about a year, can ally with
another human against the AI...never gets old. we play 3-5 hour
games....with Roger Wilco (TM) u can talk and play and it is super... of
course modern game with modern graphics..Firestorm expansion pack does add
nicely....

4)Red Alert 2:  i think single missons capture essence of RA and C&C, but
then again, we were expecting MORE!... i found the multiplayer boring...

so if your into single player missions, playing them over and over, it is
1,2.4...but if you want modern with that, 4...if u are into multiplayer
more, get 3...
