Command & Conquer Red Alert 1 Intro 

It still is, buddy. It still is.

Man as a 17yo at the time - When I first saw this intro I had actual tears of excitement in my eyes after that first tesla coil sound when the westwood logo first appears, I shiver every time still when I watch this, fantastic intro just fantastic!

@@ktopaz I think it's the chronosphere sound.

@@Prisoner416 Time vill tell. Sooner or later, time vill tell.

That same year also saw Quake, Diablo, Daggerfall, Master of Orion 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and Death Rally. So I would say some doubts are warranted. It's kinda sad that it doesn't even sound believable anymore. Like, if I only knew gaming today, and somebody told me that you could have so many excellent, innovative, high-quality game releases in a single year, I would laugh at them. But it was par for the course back then - think about any year in the 90s, pretty much, and it's like that. What happened to the industry?

Heh... the whole game is basically a warning of "Be careful messing with history..." :)

+Matthew Kent "One of the greatest" means there can be more than 1.

Also fuck Metal Gear Solid. Escape from New York rip off.

Yes from 2:15 onwards

@Matthew Kent No, not even close.

@Matthew Kent This game has a chilled as fuck Albert Einstein going back in time and literally erasing Hitler from history which is followed by a 90s video game montage of military shit to a badass song called Hell March.

CD Projekt proudly presents... Cyberpunk 2077

Absolutely. It even stands the test of time today. Every time I here that chrono-drive spin up I get PUMPED! Proudly Presents - HELL YA!

That always stood out to me, too. Even back then when I was in middle school.

Really? haha what a script!

I have wondered about that since 1996, thank you!

The scientist sounds more Dutch than German. He says "ik vorsteedt" instead of "ich vorsteedt" which got to me when I heard this again, 20 years since I last saw it lol.

THANK YOU! I have been wondering for 30 years!

@@Daggz90 It's actually supposed to be "ich verstehe". The scientist does indeed have a harsh foreign accent, which is weird since the scientist is supposed to be Einstein, who obviously had no foreign accent (but a swabian one) since he was German himself.

I feel you bro.. But I'm glad I played this gem of a game.

Did they make them better?

my tests grades were shit, after playing hell march, it is now a doctorate and PhD

You must’ve been retarded then. I played this game and got good grades

Are you guys preparing for WW3?

It was the time when you fight against evil where as now you play as evil against good :D

@@wiceorc5105 You can play as both the Allies and the Soviet Union. Both campaigns were well fleshed out too.

@@theothertonydutch No it´s not what country you play. It´s how the story is portrayed. In current games like forexample cod you dont feel like youre anymore one of the morally good guys.. Youre just like anyone else trying to survive for whatever cause. Cod used to be different too.. in mw3 you directly felt that you was still on the good side.. In the video game history, goldeneye: rogue agent (2004) was propably turning point when you started to play morally on the different side if you wanted to in video games (however there was exceptions).

@@theothertonydutch i actually preferred the soviet campaign, and nod on the original lol

@@wiceorc5105 Well put. Even in nod campaigns you yourself are always a "good guy".

I feel manhood growing.

Hell march ftw.

"Die Waaaaaaaaffeeeeen legt an!"- i really don't like humans and their wars - but i loved that game way too much - also it was my first online game, right before Homeworld :D

QKicks Back then they had a reason to be proud.

I had the exact experience. It was one of the best gaming moments of my life as a 10 year old

I got this at January as my birthday present. My first proper pc game coming from NES world. Minds were blown and neighborhood kids were screaming during this intro.

44.

So so so true, people back then made games that were fun first, they prioritize that OVER profit which is something you'll never find in triple a game developers today. And on a personal note how sad it is to see such a prestigious company as Blizzard Entertainment fall so far. 😭

@@XxDjinn420xX The opposite is true, commie. They made great games because they wanted to succeed and so they did. That means "make a profit" which is the purpose of all businesses. The problem today is that tyrannical & corrupt govt does not allow businesses to do such things, I.e. leftism/socialism.

Yeah, I saw it the first time, too, just now!

!

@John Doe shut the fuck up nazi

What do they say to each other?

@@adamski198408 "Mr. Hitler? Yes, what's going on? I've got no time to standing around here. Yes, I understand... I understand..."

and tons of logos...

Daniel Butler How does it give you chills? Just curious.

I felt it too.

Knight of Arkronia Maybe about the fact that he is coldly, calmly pondering the weather as he is about jump into the past to carry out a chrono-assassination. It takes away from the image of the posters with Albert Einstein making goofy faces and we see him as an angry scientist who is about to erase someone from existence.

Tigerman1138 Thanks for the explanation!

There's definitely something so ominous and casual about it, isn't there? I think it's the fact that it implies he's so sure that the experiment will work and that he'll soon be in the 1920s to remove Hitler from existence, that his mind has wandered to the kind of everyday practicalities that people think about when they're going for a walk. It's a single short line that says so much; this man must have studied the experiment until it seems less threatening and unpredictable than the rain. It suggests a man so confident in his power over human history that his real outstanding worry is inclement weather; maybe implying the weather is the one thing he can't control? (Ironic when you think about how that seems to relate to Red Alert 2...) I think what really makes it so great is that we have very little real context for what's going on until that quote, but as soon as we hear it we know he must be going somewhere important and the mention of rain gives the other place/time a sense of immediacy and inevitability. It's a very good piece of writing, especially once you have the context of knowing where he's going and what he's going to do: he's about to change the course of modern history by removing the most significant person of the 20th century and thereby set in motion events he can only guess at... and what he's really worried about is whether or not he should bring a raincoat.

me too..one of the few games that kept me awake till in the morning

45 here and I can see you’re a man of taste.

Ditto.

Matt Aquino “sooner or later...”

@@Tigerman1138 "Time will tell..."

But the three actors that made it memorable are gone. General Sheperd, Stalin and Premier Romanov.

Me to its insane !!!!!!!

WESTWOOD STUDIOS PROUDLY PRESENTS

If they remove Putin like they did with Hitler

I get chills whenever my phone rings. Because naturally that had to be my ringtone :)

EA did though.

@@DaveOJ *Petroglyph

man I wish I could go back. Or at least soak in by observing. Like in that tv show Fringe or w/e it was called. with joshua jackson

Played the shit out of this and the first one, when I was a kid.

Same

YES!

You too huh? Same age.

Same here.

Mammoth tanks ready for Kyiv capture.

You idiots.

Red Alert and Worms 2 for me :)

I was thinking the same thing

Unfun fact - Ukraine (Skirmish/Multiplayer mode) are in the first Red Alert

Except in reality, the Russians can’t conquer a wet paper bag.

When Romanov declares he has a legacy to protect in RA2 I just think of Putin.

someone travelled back in time and killed mustache man?

The assistant scientist was inside the chromosphere. Well: 1. When Einstein returned time hadn’t caught up yet. Events were still being altered which is why Einstein said “time will tell”…indicating things were still changing. 2. The chronosphere’s temporal field allowed kind of a “vacuum” of stable time inside. The moment they left the chronosphere they would see any changes. Only the scientists inside would remember the other timeline. Those are just my theories.

yes

The Chronosphere’s area in the lab kept a pocket of time surrounding it in the field. Only after leaving the lab would the assistant see any differences.

... sooner or later....time vill tell.

Lt. Eva is best girl and nothing will be able to change my opinion.

John Buscher She was awesome, but about Lt. Zofia? I loved her.

Red Alert III: Fucking dies

Uncle Fester I played, free online demo-version, until half-way through the tutorial and stopped. Haven’t gone near it. I have other C&Cs to try.
