Command and Conquer. The very mention of this game sends shivers down the spine of any gamer born before 1995. The game that (while not inventing the genre) almost singlehandedly brought the RTS genre into the minds and harddrives of the general gaming public.

In the game, you play as a lowly general fighting for either the (supposedly) good Global Defense Initiative, or the semi-terrorist Brotherhood of NOD. Both struggling to unlock and control the secrets of the mysterious new lifeform "Tiberium". Eventually, as the plot thickens, you will learn just how the Tiberium future really is.

The gameplay is fairly simple by todays standards, being composed of the now-standard RTS mechanics, but in 1995 it revolutionized the gaming world. This game has a superb storyline, great gameplay, and really is a classic.
