The safe word is "Tiberium."

Well, usually all parties taking party in a Command and Conquer match have consented to do so but what happens then usually involves quite a bit of non-consent.

Ah nostalgia. Please tell me there’s a Linux port of this.

There's openra.net which is an open source "all the Command and Conquer games" engine, which may be of interest?

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Wow thank you. RIP my free time for a while.

Runs quite well with WINE using CnCnet.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Im addicted to general zero hour, you can buy the cnc collection on steam and it runs fine.

I wish EA wasn't so shit at programming, it crashes if you minimize the window. Or has a mismatch if theres to many units on the ground.

Theres mods to fix issues, but i cant figure out how to make it work under wine.

EA also open sourced the code and people are working on fixing bugs
