Thanks largely to the efforts of our loyal fans whom continue to sustain and grow the Command & Conquer community, Command & Conquer has become a legendary franchise and it’s time to celebrate its birth once again.

In order to give back to the fans for over 12 years of devotion we are putting together a 12th Anniversary celebration during the month of September. However, as any Command & Conquer fan knows, the true party starts today, August 31st, which marks 12 years since Command & Conquer Gold launched way back in 1995.

To kick the celebration off, today we have a special surprise which we are certain new and old Command & Conquer fans will enjoy. We are providing the original Command & Conquer Gold as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade, and is now available for you to download for free!

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE DOWNLOAD:

We are providing the ISO image of C&C GOLD for both the GDI and Nod discs. In order for C&C GOLD to run on Windows XP, you will need to burn the ISO image onto a CD with a CD Burner and any "CD Burning Software" such as Nero, Alcohol, etc. There are also a few extra steps in order to make C&C GOLD run on Windows XP after you burn it to CD. Please click the link below for the exact instructions after you download both files!

Cool. Are there any mirrors or places to download this from. It's a bit slow from the EA servers.

EDIT: can safely say it doesn't work on x64. setup will not run. your best be would be to get a virtual pc setup with an older 32bit OS or maybe just using vista 32bit. apparently it also works with wine on linux too so there you go.
 
Works great on XP with the directions, blast to the past for sure.

One thing, I thought the gold edition supported 800x600? I remember drooling over 'high res' screenshots at the time. or is it just the move to full 640x480??
 
Thanks... but no need. :) I still have my origonal discs, as well as Red Alert and Red Alert 2.

BUT if you don't have the real thing, this is awesome news! :D
 
I see the game still likes to randomly crash during play on XP - particularly frequent during multiplayer matches.

Gold supports only 640x400 and 640x480. Still looks better than C&C3's crappy low poly and low res textures. 2d > 3d art style any day for a RTS. The only higher res 'screenshot' is one used for wallpapers in the theme pack for RA: http://ankle.sinistrals.net/misc/stuff/cnc/ra_ingame.jpg I wish it really looked like that.
