This one is a deep cut but maybe someone else could recall this.
In the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, they had a video at the beginning when you got the campaign going or when the game finally is installed that depicted the WTC on fire. I know this cause I had a version bought before 9/11. In addition to this, you could garrison civilian buildings and on the New York level you could garrison the WTC.
I swear after 9/11, EA and Westwood removed the video and via a patch + new copies you could no longer garrison the WTC.
Did I hallucinate this as a kid or does anyone else recall this?
Hell yeah then I’m not trippin. I grew up in rural KS and remember not getting the new patch downloaded till like I swear 03-04 maybe when we got a Sat uplink at the house. Then I just went to restart it and it was gone and it fucked with me so hard cause I legit remembered garrisoning the WTC.
Yup, the box art was drastically changed and the WTC Soviet mission was changed with a patch. I got the game before 911, my dad got a copy to play with me afterwards, it was a fun novelty to bring out the boxes side by side to show my nerd friends.

and it was so tall it uniquely allowed your garrisoned troops to target flying units...
Nope, you're totally right
EA patched out the WTC after 9/11

Yeah, if I recall correctly, in the Soviet campaign you were supposed to either garrison the building or blow it up
I can install it and check it later. Is the in the intro to the Allies campaign?
Yeah I think it is actually
