Command and conquer red alert- glitch

Post by dragon_55 »

firstly let me say hi to everyone this is my first day as a member and first post. Anyway this is really just a small thing but i played c&c red alert on the ps1 for ages and this only ever happened once and havnt a clue how i managed it, basicly a soldier appeared on top of an advance powerplant and just marched up and down ontop off the power plant (like he was pertrolling), he looked different from the regular soldiers he was smaller and looked shadowed and i couldnt select him or get him to do anything but definatly there. anybody else had this happen to them or no how to do it? its not very exciting but i thought it was cool, anyway cheers

I used to play it all the time years ago and I don't recall ever seeing that. When enemies got close to the plant did he fire on them and if you sold the plant did he just land on the ground and walk away?

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Welcome dragon_55! Always great to have new members with their experiences and ideas. No worries if new or seasoned, everyone can contribute. You could modify your signature link if you want to, and show what systems you own. Also if you have not tried that blue links bar above in particular "Topics" and "Guides", Racketboy has provided a wealth of information on various systems.

I think that soldier is either a civilian, enemy soldier or engineer in the game? Maybe take a pic if it happens again.
