this is a steal, my only concern is that in the blurb it says the games have been updated to work with Windows 7. I'm running Windows 10 - anyone got any experience of them working under W10?

I have read its a nightmare getting them to work on Windows 10.
Isn't there a browser-based version of some of these games now?

thanks for that mate - appreciated. Still voted hot. I'll have a look at the browser link you posted.
Tried it last time, great price. Couldn't get something like 6 of them working :disappointed: Windows 10 really doesn't support them, there probably is a work around but such a hassle.

For anyone having trouble getting these working, a workaround for some is to use cncnet, some free software that allows online games of C&C, Red Alert, Red Alert 2 (and Yuri's Revenge) and Tiberian Sun. fantastic if you want to play with or against a friend or even want to set up a skirmish game against the AI.
Red Alert works on my windows 10, i've not tried any of the others

I have this package, it's fantastic for this price. The older games in the series, definitely c&c and ra1 are a pain in the **** to get running on a modern system, but you can download the software here http://www.openra.net and it does a great job of running the games. Basically it works similar to emulation but all the assets are copied from the disc/download.

It's not emulation at all, OpenRA is a completely rebuilt engine that doesn't use a single line of the original source code. It's not 100% faithful to the original games and focuses more on competitive online play with modern netcode. That said it's still a great project...
