Best RTS game on par with C&C

Love this game so much, still have the retail discs and box with manual. Even the manual is amazing. Great game.

Very laggy

I played this game when it first came out, when i saw it on GOG i was very exited to be able to play it again. But sadly this game version is very laggy. Every time you move the mouse in game, the game just stops. Does not sound licke much but it is almost unplayable.

C&C Generals in spirit

There is ra review with the title "Tom Clancy's Command and Conquer" and tbh? That already says it all! I had a lot of fun with the gameplay back then. What I particularly liked, that there is an actual PoW mechanic, something unique within the RTS genre, pretty cool!
