>To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game. The C&C Remastered Collection is available for purchase on EA App or Steam. Mind you EA released [some of] the games as freeware back in 2008 so no, you don't have to buy them for the graphics, art, sound, and music assets Tiberian Dawn GDI https://web.archive.org/web/20110927141135/http://na.llnet.c...

I spent some time browing curiosities about old games, and what strikes me is that the code sometimes was quite personal. You could see the joy, the anger, the disappointment, the satisfaction. Nowadays it would never fly to name a variable "poo", you need to stay professional at all times.

OpenRA did it better :D If you haven't seen it yet https://www.openra.net/ is worth your time. https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA I have many fond memories of playing openra as "LAN" game on the gaming weekends we used to have in a few open source groups I've been in.

Honestly, I wouldn't be too sad about them remaking RA2 and giving us easy-to-use online play. I wonder if that's why there's a delay - there's likely a *lot* of love for RA2
You can play Red Alert 2 in the browser, with other players online.

Slightly odd (age wise) Generals got open sourced before RA2. I wonder why?
It is apparently the case that the original source for Tiberian Sun and RA2 has been lost; EA doesn't have it. There's been rumours to that effect for a while.
The only thing I can think is that EA deliberately came down hard on that and were a little bit too zealous.

Looks like the Tiberian Dawn code is Windows too (so C&C Gold / W95) I was kind of wishing it was the 1995 DOS version source code! (also, no Dune 2000)
Emporer: Battle for Dune was their first 3D RTS and I personally loved the gameplay, story, and soundtrack. I very much hope it will eventually be open-sourced.
