I got ridiculously addicted to real time strategy games thanks to Dune II on the Sega Genesis. I didn't have a computer at the time and it was 99 cents at my local EB store so I figured why not? Years later when I saw mention of Command & Conquer in gaming mags and that it was by the same studio that did Dune II, I knew I had to get it.
The first day I saw the PSOne port of Command & Conquer, I bought it. I thoroughly enjoyed it for months till my job started mandatory overtime (I was already driving nearly 2 hours each way so overtime ate ALL my free time during the week).
I think I have multiple versions of the re-releases, updates, remakes, etc that have been released (I buy a lot of bundles from Humble Bundle and Fanatical) that it may appear to be hoarding digital copies at this point. Lol.
I need to play it rather than just look at the art in my game list. Such fun memories, thank you for sharing this.

I'm really sorry for late answer, I had a lot of work to do all week.
99 cents, wow, not bad. In Poland, for many years, game prices in stores didn't drop even a few years after their release. xD In the case of Dune 2, I'm too young to remember it, but I've seen WarCraft 1 or 2.
I know the feeling of not having enough time to play. The same goes for looking at the "pile of shame" or images/videos from games I wanted to play but don't have time... Partly because I'm devoting my time to looking at other games. CnC is a super easy game these days (aside from a few missions, and even those don't take much time; you just need to know how to start). Thank you for your comment. Have a nice weekend! :)
