OpenRA - Free remake of C&C Red Alert

Just bringing awareness to a fantastic remake of Red Alert, a real time strategy game from the mid-late 90's. This cross-platform remake contains most of the content from the original Red Alert and its two expansions. One of the big bonuses that is different is the modern and simple online capabilities which was non existent in the original.

The setup is very simple, just download and run the installer. When first launching the game, it will ask for content from the original game with the option to insert the original disk or just simply downloading a small (10MB) file.

Once you reach the main menu you have the choice to jump into online play via "Join Game". If you fancy just a single player mission or the classic skirmish hit the "Create Game" button.

Once you have chosen to create a game, simply just accept the default server configuration and then you will be presented with the lobby and the default map will be the first allied mission. To do a skirmish simply change map and select one of the conquest maps and add a AI in the lobby.
