I heard my Nokia getting a text message through the distortion in the speakers by just looking at this photo

You're welcome.
Never played C&C on its time, but I play some games of ORA every now and then. Not bad at all I must admit.

Westwood studios was a treasure
Anyone else remember their Blade Runnder game?
Dairy and dairy products are class 2 contraband

Fight! Win! Prevail!
RA and RA2 were so awesome.
Yuri's Revenge with the Devastator mod.
I personally think Yuri’s Revenge brought about a bit too much mechanical cheese, and prefer vanilla RA2 - but I won’t begrudge a fellow fan their preferences!

Can we play Age of Empires after this?
Age of Empires Il still has a very active scene with new content all the time. In fact there's a new expansion dropping this week!
Is AOE 2 the one where you could use a cheat code to spawn in a blue sportscar with a machine gun on the front?
I seem to half-remember taking a few of those into France a few times lol.
It is. But there was a black sportscar in AoE 1, as well. And a laser gun warrior and a similar looking dude shooting miniature nuclear missiles.

Don't point that thing at me!
I still hope theres copies of the takes that didnt make it if thats the best one
It’s weird this picture looks like it shouldn’t be this high resolution.
It's new.
Oh, not denying its legitimacy. Just not used to such a high quality picture of such an old machine.
My now over 20 years old self built rig still runs. It's a time capsule, running winxp with photoshop 7. It has Winamp and all my old music. And it has games like red alert 2 and generals zero hour.
Ah, decoding the morse code at the back of the counterstrike manual to find the instructions for unlocking the secret ant missions. I think it involved clicking on the speaker looking thing in the top right of the menu while pressing some keyboard combo.
Awesome! Love your period hardware. I have a complete XP setup, but I would love a 95/98 setup. No more room.
I did install 86Box last week, though! And installed 98SE. I was also partying like it's 1996 with Microsoft Hellbender!
/me pops in some Master of Orion 2
Hell, yeah! Anyone willing to lug their Bigtower+CRT over? I got heaps of thin ethernet (you know? the one with the BNC connectors and Terminators) ready to party.

Take me back.
dune is the way.
Dune 2? That was my jam.
Dune 1, iirc, was more of a story based game.
I think it was 2. ordo got assasins from palace, atreides got fremen, and harkonen got nukes. you would think nukes would be op but oh man the fremen.
Back in the day before you could group select units.
It's the yeeooww pew de pew pew pew pew ... kachunk ... chop chop chop fwosh KAPOW that I'm reminded of.
I play AoE these days because it has - relatively speaking - more real units. I do wish there was an AoE or C&C type game that used just realistic troops and vehicles and such. Seems like we have the computing power these days for a much larger-scale area of battle where you could command troops and vehicles over a small city sized map. Still RTS with fog of war and such… Maybe better simulated behaviours for the troops. But command your groups of military to go take out targets or attack positions and take terrain and such...
Seems like it'd be awesome, but nobody has done it.
There's Company of Heroes with realistic units and "order based" real-time combat, alas, it is not very large scale.
Closest I remember to your description is another very old game: Sid Meier's Gettysburg. But that was limited by the possibilities of its time.
