Command & Conquer: Red Alert

Westwood's 1996 alternate-history war game: Albert Einstein erases Hitler from history, and Stalin's Soviet Union fills the gap.

With no Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union sweeps across Europe. Command the Allies or the Soviets in a war of tanks, navies, Tesla coils and paratroopers.

Included in the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection, which lets you switch to the original graphics.

About the game

The two sides play very differently, with heavy Soviet tanks against faster Allied units and a strong navy.

It has some of the series' most quoted video scenes and music, including Frank Klepacki's 'Hell March'.

History
