The Dune series is abandonware, make sure to follow the installation guide to find the correct version.

While the original can be played on DOSBox, I'd recommend Dune Dynasty: It has a very faithful implementation of the original engine, with the addition of some modern controls like selecting multiple units at once.

Don't worry about this one, it's not good.

The main difference other than platform is that TUC versions of these games require either Bibber's or Medstar's fixed Origin launchers if you want to use mods or launch arguments.

Either the Steam versions or The Ultimate Collection, there's not much in it.

The Ultimate Collection + GenTool (follow the above guide closely)Ĭ&C3 Tiberium Wars + Kane's Wrath / Red Alert 3 + Uprising.

The Ultimate Collection + Tiberian Technologies' Scripts.

Renegade (this one is a first-person shooter, set during Tib Dawn.

The Ultimate Collection + CnCNet YR Launcher.

freeware version for the original, or better yet the Remastered Collection on Steam.

We're talking old school DOS-era level design, so don't be afraid to look up walkthroughs if you need! Oh, make sure to save regularly, particularly if you're starting with Tib Dawn. If you enjoy Tib Dawn and RA1, these two games have had recent Remasters which are the best way to play those games. The first three games have been released by EA as freeware, and these freeware versions come prepatched with fan patches, and so are preferable to the ones downloaded from Origin. Just make certain you follow these guides for each game to make sure you set them up correctly, or you may run into problems. The Ultimate Collection on Origin contains every C&C game, excluding the recent Remasters (the Remasters are available on Steam and Origin). The following is a copy-paste I've made that covers how best to play the whole C&C series, it's a little more info than you were after but I think some of it'll apply to you All the games are available on Origin as part of The Ultimate Collection, the EALA games are also available individually on Steam (though if you get TUC you don't want to buy them twice), and the Remastered Collection (remasters of Tib Dawn and RA1) is available separately (not part of TUC) on both Steam and Origin. You can download the multiplayer portion of Red Alert 2 for free from CnCNet somewhere, but not the campaign. Only the first three games (Tiberian Dawn OG, Red Alert 1 OG, Tiberian Sun) are freeware.
