A volunteer remake of Red Alert didn't just preserve the game. It quietly out-balanced the original (openra.net)
OpenRA rebuilds Red Alert, the original Command & Conquer and Dune 2000 with modern RTS features — attack-move, veterancy, fog of war, online play — on Windows, Mac and Linux.
A 25-year veteran's verdict cuts deeper than nostalgia: it's better balanced than the originals. The one wall remains — you still need the original game's assets — but the thread mostly turned into love letters, including one about a 50-something farm neighbor who wrecked everyone at Red Alert 2 over dial-up.
