Surrender is not an option!

Dark experiments have permanently altered time. Or have they? Now, Soviet tanks crush city after city while Allied cruisers shell bases. Spies lurk, land mines wait, and strange new technologies aid both sides in their struggle for ultimate control. 

Gives you the opportunity to be more devious, cunning and ruthless than ever before. Easy to play and highly addictive - puts the fate of the world in your hands!

Command & Conquer Red Alert gives you the option to play one of two distinct fighting forces: The Allies, consisting of a handful of remaining free European countries that oppose Stalin; or the Soviet Empire, the mighty war juggernaut bent on continental domination.

If you choose the Allies, you will fight against the Soviet Empire. If you choose the Soviet Empire you will fight against the Allies. Each side is radically different from the other, with varying strengths and weaknesses, different units, technologies, and different philosophies towards war.
