Installing that game was a trip. I took the discs to a friend's house and we didn't realize the volume was cranked on the computer so we closed the drive and it boomed

WARNING

MILITARY SOFTWARE DETECTED - TOP SECRET CLEARANCE REQUIRED

His mom was very curious as to what the hell we were getting in to.

I still get goosebumps when I hear that intro sound.

ENCRYPTION CODE REQUIRED - YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO COMPLY.

WHERE IS THE DAMN BOOKLET?

> YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO COMPLY.

Not RA specific, but this is by far one of the best game design tricks.

Players are so trusting that if you tell them they need to hurry up they will.

ED209?

RA2 was ace, but Yuri's Revenge, one of the greatest expansion packs IMO. Added so much more value to the game.

Yuri was completely unbalanced in Multiplayer though.

There's been attempts to re-balance him using memory injection to overcome INI file editing limitations without much success

Hopefully Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 can be added to OpenRA one day. It seems like it's something the lead developer of OpenRA works on in his spare time, when he's not fixing bugs or tweaking things in OpenRA itself

Yield to me! Their will is my will!

Any opinion on Mental Omega?

Totally!

There is also Chrono Divide for MP in browser, which was on HN not long ago.
