Let's Play Command And Conquer: Red Alert Part 1

[@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega]

sidenote about the ore, it comes from oremines, that are sometime sin the middle of the patches of ore (like tiberium trees)

[@samrupert7398]

My dad and I used to play this game when I was 6 or 7. I finally got the first decade a year ago and i still love this game. You're LPs finally got me back into these games.

[@Nightingale1986]

20:30 "АПОСНО! НЕ ВИХОА!" Soo cute :) Artega, it's a terribly misspelled phrase with lots of errors and troubles with cyrillic. It is as simple as "Warning! Do not trespass!", but is better translated as "DANGERASS! NOT EXID!" PS: Like any other "Russian" phrase in RA, it sounds very funny (like a mix of lolcat language, schoolboy spelling and ukrainian)

[@Nightingale1986]

I see you guys liked the comment about "Russian" in RA. I'll try to entertain you a bit more then. There is a meme in RA, that became one of the best known "Branch Cranberry" cliches (a term, meaning absurd foreign myths about Russia). At least for oldfag gamers. During soviet briefs in Stalin's cabinet, there are books with cyrillcs on spines: "БРЭТ ЖОПА". Well, the first word is very like to "БРЕД" if you pronounce it belching deeply. The last word translates uniquely and means a rude word for buttocks. If you combine these words, you get "ASS NONSENSE"! I just love that game :)

[@Repeeli]

Watching this really brings back some memories. I always wondered why sometimes buildings and units on the right side of the screen look different compared to my own playing experience. For me, they looked more realistic for some reason. Anyway, I'm so happy to see let's play of this and C&C. I remember trying to find LP of this few years ago and couldn't really find one. So thank you a million times for bringing back some lovely memories. :)

[@masonnoodles]

I remember there’s was this code where you hold shift(I think) and click on the CD looking thing in the right corner of the title screen, you play a secret campaign against fire ants.

[@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega]

actually, not exactly, ra1 is a prequel to CnC, and one of the original concepts for cnc3 from westwood was to have kane send yuri in time, causing ra2, but then ea happened and it never got there. but so far i doint think anything contradicts it. There is also the theory that connect generals to the world, the anthrax in generals does not act like anthrax, with the instakills and damaging vehicles and it comes in green and blue. the anthrax acts like tiberium, as tiberium does kill instand in gasform, and it corrores vehicles and it comes in green and blue

[@gingerbrummie]

Back here for my yearly watch of this LP

[@ArtegaOmega]

Welcome back, it's great to hear people are still enjoying it :)

[@gingerbrummie]

Artega Omega I love your command & conquer vids. Will you ever do Tiberium sun or red alert 2?

[@sirnickwD]

Im watching this in 2018 cause i miss this game!

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I didn't remember where I was in the let's play so I am rewatching it.

[@malonemalo]

+angelowl89 Glad to see I'm not the only one.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I actually did it. :P

[@TheDeeGeeNL]

It's that time of the year again to revisit this let's play.

[@ikmor]

NOW I can finish (and firstly begin again) watching this LP. All done, and I'm all ready. Popcorn popped. ❤ Thank you for finishing this! It's like an early christmas!

[@ikmor]

Oh, and put them all the the same "folder" so I can save it easily and return to it in a few years again. ;p Thank you. 😁

[@Rustvaar]

+Artega Omega The sign @20:44 "Апосно! Не виход" translates to "Aposno ! No vihod" which appears to be utter gibberish and largely mocked online for the poor translation.

[@T3hderk87]

I seriously don't know why you don't have more subs... awesome commentary !

[@ArtegaOmega]

@doublehirn Wow. It always feels great hearing that people are enjoying my LPs, but hearing that my LPs inspired someone to start their own? That's amazing. Keep going with your LP, don't worry if things are quiet from time to time, just make it there in the end. And as you get there, I'll be watching every step of the way. Best of luck doublehirn!

[@doublehirn]

Man after I spent like 3 days watching your Tiberium Conflict lets play I am so happy to see you moved on to the next chapter of CnC. On the other hand it makes me feel guilty for not yet completing my own LP for CnC Covert Ops... yeah gotte get back on that after work today^^ greetings from Berlin Artega!

[@dashjumptv]

"This is Tanya Adams: professional...volunteer." I love the original RA and C&C scripts.

[@dungeonmaster201]

I like your CNC lets play, cause everyone else doesnt talk in theirs, I'm thinking of doing my own CNC lets play. if you want could you have a look at the lets plays that I have done?

[@danijel115]

I like that you're playing it in the original resolution. It's the coziest resolution for playing this game.

[@PiperTMTotalWar]

The original does look good, but I think a larger resolution makes the game more fun.

[@smallbluemachine]

I was going to comment exactly this. I also prefer the lower resolution where everything looks larger and more readable.

[@dragonheart333]

Wow this takes me back I used watch my brother play this game all the time when I was younger, in fact every time I hear a Russian accent I am remind of this game.

[@kellenbigman]

20:44 It literally translates as: "Obviously not! Exit!" But likely means: "Forbidden! Leave!" Or "Dangerous! Keep out!"

[@cyberjunky1000]

Press X to disperse your units (scatter them when they gather in a clump..that will prevent them from getting crushed) Press G to put units on guard..they will attack enemy if they come close annd units can also be tagged with number (cntrl 1 to assign 1 for example)

[@dylanhiggins4760]

4:50 ‘where I brought about the fall of Nod... and the rise of Nod’ lol

[@Smoughh]

I remember this game from my childhood, and I always thought tesla coils where electric trees. xD

[@thebadnickname-8762]

OH man I love C&C games, escpecially this piece of art, one of my favorite strategy games :))

[@breenamans4332]

you can play for free cncnet[D0T]org

[@bouldy2]

must watch more! so much laughs to be had! "where did that stunning grenade come from" made me laugh no idea, why either.

[@louisgunner]

best fucking commentary i've ever heard, also best choices for a lets play i've ever seen love this whole everything

[@thelahna-8747]

billboxes would help against those sneak attacks like that which destroyed your ore factory.. :) i have played this game so much back in the day on my playstation.

[@Jumbus24]

Why have I not watched this guy before! He is awesome! :D

[@JonnyAkimbo]

Westwood had originally planned for RA to be a prequel to the the original C&C, but gave up on that idea for whatever reason between this game and RA2, so they are now two totally different universes.

[@MrCronicus]

You hear hints about GDI forming in one of the allied campaign cutscenes. Red Alert 1 was always hinted as being the prequel to tiberium dawn EA games jumped the shark when they took over the franchise. Red Alert 2 and 3 are cheese as hell but westwood games did not make them so that does explain some of it.

[@karsten69]

"Easy sounds good" - Karsten69

[@wolf99000]

Still love the Red Alert games I played this one for hours and hours when I first got a pc back in the day thanks for the nostalgia

[@ArtegaOmega]

You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.

[@MrRickios]

when you say TIMELINE it very epic and this gameplay was very cool and fun

[@SomeBadBadger]

also, dont know if its available in the dos version but you can press 'E' to target everone of your troops on screen, and holding shift then pressing 0-9 groups them, you can also have troops guarding other enemies (shift and alt i believe).

[@SakuraAndInoYuriLove]

I laughed pretty hard when you said iron ore would spread across a field

[@DueRag]

man I remeber playing this as a kid never finished it though because I was dumb at the time

[@Anderson21G]

Thought id watch some lets play while downloading all these games again, can't beat the old school and a chance to revisit my childhood, think I'm the first comment of 2018 lol or at least on this video which has made me sub

[@g0md936]

I remember playing this with my brother when i was young

[@MurraySwe]

The sign in 20:42 probably says: "Drive safe the soviet way". (Points for getting the reference.)

[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

For one reason and one reason alone, they get attack dogs XD. But but but, the soviets get bears in RA3 o-o Man tanya looks SO different in RA3. Seriously though, westwood had the best writing, they knew it was kind of cheesy, and kind of serious. Absolutely brilliant this game was. And the lore of the red alert universe, is so cool. Lots of convoluted time travelling and such. and tanyas laugh... So iconic! I miss that in RA3

[@breathstealer5486]

I forget I remember there being a mission that you keep your base from a previous mission. But that might have been red alert 2

[@LegendAsalis]

If you play the Gold edition of this game, it takes out alot of Russian cinematics because a certain character from Nod makes a cameo appearance later in the Russian campaign. :) Go Kane!

[@SomeBadBadger]

counterstrike was amazing add on for this, shift and click the speaker to fight evil ants lol

[@flankspankrank]

Are you planning to continue this LP?

[@MrRivalnator]

The thing is, allied units are RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND YOU!

[@evilmiera]

Oh hey, isn't this the mission where you can keep your base if you build it in a certain way?

[@markbedway1787]

evilmiera yes this is the mission that you will use your base in a different mission too and whatever your base looks like at the end of the mission you will start with the same set up for the other mission

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

Darn it can be frustrating to be a perfectionist in this game, started the allied mission where you are up against nukes and restarted four times before ALT-F4ing. Should only play that game when I have the focus for it.

[@glhf2]

actually...I'm pretty sure that this game timeline wise runs before the orginal CC based on information from the soviet ending(though not necessairily based on the soviet ending being the canon ending) if that makes any sense.

[@Aerion_Dirceus]

thumbs up for anyone watching this is 2017!

[@icyboy771z]

this game was my childhood along with alot of other old games like age of empires,starcraft

[@furiouspredator9564]

icyboy771z I like all those games as well

[@Pappy55]

Love the old school c&c games as well as Dune II on the Amiga.

[@ez_hauntism6294]

2018

[@TheMourningBlade]

2018

[@ninjb42]

i remember this game...i used to lay it as a kid. I still have it and i'm trying to get it to work on Vista. AND IT WON'T. even in 95 compatibility mode. so i need to see it being played somewhere else.

[@Rafaelrealizado]

good game. You finish mode campaign correct?

[@kodytiffany5686]

Tanya the Best Girl of all C&C or RA games to me. Rapid fire and explosives and fast... its like they asked themselves how to make Commandos not suck ass and made her on accident. Also like her as a character.

[@minimumdorifto6595]

The tesla coils! The coils of Nikola Tesla!

[@glhf2]

@JonnyAkimbo I thought the orginal RA was a prequel to the orginal C and C but RA2's plot device seperate RA 2 and 3 from the orginal C and C series...

[@TheBoshman95]

The Soviets also get the awesome Tesla Coils!

[@Raycloud]

I still consider Red Alert a prequel to C&C1 (it's hard to dispute since YOU KNOW WHO is in it) but then RA2 is the humorous alternate universe.

[@JonnyAkimbo]

Yeah, you're right. I think EA were the ones that wanted them to make them distinct universes

[@tacticalraptor92]

Tiberius Dawn is not in a different timeline it is set in the future. Hence Kane being in the final scene of the Soviet missions.

[@maskedhobo]

Yup, Red Alert is a prequel to the original C&C.

[@dr.spectre9697]

OHHHH WHAT AN AWESOME CLASSIC GAME!!

[@jayceebee]

mate, your commentary is awesome.

[@nathanaelyny]

Wow 10 years ago! Will you play this again but the remastered version?

[@ArtegaOmega]

I was thinking I might play the expansions on the remastered version when I get around to them. Don't hold me to that though or expect it to come anytime soon :P

[@nathanaelyny]

@@ArtegaOmega that would be cool I never played the expansions. Maybe after that play the PS1 version lol

[@naomicollimore71]

My favourite game of all time

[@ArtegaOmega]

@TheMightyAtomNL I couldn't get the windows version to record properly. It's a shame but at least the dos version is nice and smooth.

[@CovilDoStriker]

what program used to capture the screen?

[@TheDeeGeeNL]

Guess i'll just revisit this, since it's 2021 now.

[@49mozzer]

is it me or do the Allies have Russian accents? I'm probably completely wrong but wasn't the Soviet commando also called Tanya or was it Natasha? I should probably look it up but its 10am and I haven't slept in over 24hrs so....

[@arimpact]

Good God this is nostalgic....

[@rougesaytr4818]

Lmao Tanya was so bad ass

[@MrRiddleAW]

When you think about it. The Soviets were really overpowered in this game. Great units and great defenses.Allied weaponry and defenses were pretty weak by comparison. But I guess the creators wanted to give the impression that the Soviets were really powerful, and could conquer Europe.

[@TheCNCChannel]

MrRiddleAW That's true, and it's a more realistic depiction of most wars in which one side is a lot more powerful than the other. But in multiplayer games the Allies have a production advantage in terms of tanks, and we usually select Germany instead of Russia/Ukraine in some maps.

[@stinger15au]

MrRiddleAW true in terms of power, however the allies had speed, mobility and tactical advantages. Id say the allies required more skill to use, while the soviet was more brute force

[@PiperTMTotalWar]

The game is really all about tanks, Soviets had far better tanks.

[@kasper7574]

playing the ps1 version currently, so fun!

[@theFloxie]

Today i learned that what i thought was wheat when i was a kid, is actually tiberium..

[@Cryton12345]

Do you still have these games?

[@BIGVIN112]

Now to start watching this one!

[@Kazyu]

sets screenshake from normal jumps it up to 500% have fun :D

[@tonyhugill7704]

"Curses!" 18:29

[@derekpiasecki1097]

How did you get the colors to not be all goofy looking? The colors all look off on my version, particularly with cutscenes and the health bars (green health = navy blue, yellow = purple, red = gray)

[@cringelord9568]

Derek Piasecki Is it possible you don't have both discs installed?

[@derekpiasecki1097]

Mad Miner Michael I had it through The First Decade. But this is the DOS version, the Windows 95 version is the one that gets all vomit colored

[@TheMightyAtomNL]

Ah awesome, you've started LP'ing RA. Too bad it's the Dos version. The Windows (95) version offers a high resolution and better looking building/unit icons. But meh, whatever, right? :)

[@AcutePanic41]

Best part of C&C RA.... Rules.ini.

[@Bannanawaffles2]

Is it just me, or do I hear a little bit of Evil Time influence with the way you talk in these videos :3

[@LucasFerreira-jy9kw]

u are fun on description the game

[@TheRayvone]

Is it me or does the 'Building...Construction Complete' voice sound like J.A.R.V.I.S?!

[@Lherme]

whats the diference about this game and the retaliation one?

[@dubsy1026]

Retaliation is an expansion to this.

[@Lherme]

Dubsy 102 okay..

[@billyyory1443]

Just want to start by saying that I super nerd out when it comes to the earlier c&c games. I do not understand why you think so highly of attack dogs. Perhaps I will see in a later video. I will agree that the soviets have more advantages over the allies. Also, if I am not mistaken the timeline is cannon to the tiberian universe if the allies win. If the soviets win it is only cannon to the red alert universe. The Americans technically never got involved with the war in red alert 1 if I am not mistaken. I personally liked the commandos from commands of command and conquer better than Tonya. What they said and they they said things were more entertain to me. I got nothing against Tonya. If there is one thing the allies have over the soviets its their navy due alone to the cruisers. They are bamf. If your enemy anywhere even slightly close to a shore, bring two in and the whole shore could be obliterated in a very short time, crippling if not destroying your enemy. You can even keep them well out of range of even V2s while attacking the base. I . . . love them 0.o Ya I never got ore either. It grows!? What? Actually the allies use sandbags. I cant blame you English, tea is yummy. Your inexperience is indeed showing. Better shape up! The allies have pillboxes, camopillboxes and turrets. The soviets have flametowers and telsa coils.

[@beefcurtainz69]

Valuable minerals: oww. Iron oww

[@Spootiful]

This video is oresome!

[@tristhanjimenez7750]

Its getting remastered!!!

[@PiperTMTotalWar]

How long will do you think it will take to develop?

[@Erisnomics]

Lets just hope EA wouldn't put microtransactions

[@Erisnomics]

And hope its free

[@lill87]

That's the DOS version, you are probably used to the Windows 95 (RA95) version of the game.

[@jayhenderson2620]

Hard just made it way to predictable for me. Such a good game.

[@stylistcut53]

I have the originally command and conquer red alert. But I now have a windows 7. It wont play on it. Is their another red alert I can play on my windows 7.

[@ArtegaOmega]

+Irene Fredricks In order to get older PC games to work you usually have to use a DOS emulator. The most famous one, and the one I use, is called DosBox

[@xplacestudent2866]

+Irene Fredricks im playing it on windows 7 look for a windows 7 64 bit download

[@sylface86]

they have made a remastred version tough with 10 times better graphics as well same shit just better graphics

[@jackyarnell4707]

just download OPEN RA, you get red alert and tiberium for free.

[@jackyarnell4707]

just download OPEN RA, you get red alert and tiberium for free.

[@0bnkv9]

I downloaded this for my Mac but it doesn't give the option to play campaign, can anyone help me out?

[@dusgy1]

+Bryson Viquelia geta pc much better

[@ximenezjuan771]

+Bryson Viquelia I would also like to download it. Where did you do it?

[@breenamans4332]

go to cncnet[D0T]org they can help in forums and you download for free and play online with 500 players :)))

[@Corphest]

I love this

[@dattebenforcer]

1) It's not a different universe 2) You need to show the game intro that shows how it all came to be. (i.e. killing Hitler with a time machine and Stalin rising to power as a result)

[@philipg6490]

This is the original build wow not the remake I didnt think you could get these on newer pc's

[@MrRickios]

soviets is cool but they lack in air defense allies have best AA and rocket soldier mean while the soviet got they Doctrine Mammoth tank and best defense building the tesla and also the Infantry like Grenadier and attack dogs they really effective to massive kill on enemy unit

[@CommanderZx2]

Yay C&C, I much prefer the Red alart series to the Tiberium.

[@Gekiburai]

Easy sounds good

[@stormtrooper86]

it's Nikola Tesla, not Nikolai, because he was never Russian. Just a heads up, nothing malicious

[@jasonpatrick5660]

Heads up...He doesn't finish the game in this series. I watched all 60 episodes and didn't get to see the ending.

[@markbedway1787]

William's Pops he does finish it

[@Crebralassassin]

god I love this game.

[@icyboy771z]

Best game ever

[@FestorFreak]

Soviets only better because of dogs? hah. Try dogs, migs, flametowers, and tesla units/towers galore. I almost always played soviets. Plus i liked using red units in this game, which fits Russia. Green units were easy to lose if alone in grassy maps.
