I played this game a shit ton as a kid, and I can't get over the fact that it released little over a month before the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. IIRC, the first American mission features a cutscene of tanks running over the Victory Arch.

The storyline revolves around America and the PRC fighting a witldwide terrorist front called the "Global Liberation Army".

      I've always been an airplane nerd and I positively loved the one American faction in the Zero Hour expansion that had missile defense lasers on the airplanes, damn near invincible... except those fucking quad cannons could just shred aircraft with wicked speed.

      I need to go dig through some discs soon.

          If you happen to have access to EA Play, there's a "remastered" version of C&C and RA out there that are available thru that service. Or for sale, but obviously I wouldn't recommend buying it again if you have the old discs around. Having the classic game with a modernized UI and high-res graphics is pretty neat.
