That hurt my brain. I can't figure out how people can be so ignorant. I mean, he kinda gets in the neighborhood of the mark by virtual of the fact that C&C 64 is a port of C&C, and Red Alert was the sequel (prequel) of C&C. But the "it's C&C 64 on a PC!" thing... that's just wow.

Oh I've heard some corkers in my time. Like how Ocarina of Time is the first Zelda game... :roll:

There's a review for Mother on the NES that claims it to be a bad sequel to Earthbound.

C&C64 was pretty bad. Red Alert Retaliation on the PSX on the other hand.... Mouse support instantly makes it one of the best console rts games.

Owned, Retaliation rocked. Best console rts ever. System link too! Those were the days! It was like internet gaming before it became mainstream!


Also, anybody noticed that Tim Curry is Red Alert 2?

I laughed my ass off when I read the back earlier today. I want it really badly now, purely because of Tim Curry!

Yeah, definitely makes the game that much better in my opinion just because he's in it.

I wonder, what do you all think Tim Curry's best role was? I'm partial to Clue, personally.

My favorite Tim Curry role was King Arthur in the original cast of Spamalot.

Everything he has ever done has been great. There's just something about him, he's a real thespian. Such a flawless acting technique, he's so transparent. Some of his roles you just go... that's Tim Curry!?

Dr. Frank N Furter is my favourite, but I think that's mainly because I LOVE that film so much. There's so much he's been in though, it's hard to really choose. He's always the highlight of many films that he is in, no matter how small the role is.
