A collection, "C&C the first decade" contains most of the games from that era. I simply bought it to have an easier install compared to the really ancient installations on the original disks. As for lan play, it still sucks on some of the games. The easiest way we got it working was simply downloading a "COM port emulator over tcp/ip" and using that with all the early games. I don't remember the name of the software but can dig it up if you are interested. Eskimo Note: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/11068/Command+&+Conquer+Gold+-+Full+Game:+GDI+ISO It's now free Lol
