Command & Conquer Demo?

Hi,

I've looked everywhere but Apple has no specific Games Forum, so the MacBook Pro is my next best forum...

Does anyone have a link to where I can download a free demo of Command & Conquer games for my MacBook Pro? Any versions old or new? (Generals, Red Alert 3)

Any links would be greatly appreciated as everything that turns up in Google is either an update or doesn't work.

15.4"  MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo 2GB, Mac OS X (10.5.5),  iPhone 8GB (2.2)

It's probably too old. The latest version I can find was released in 2000 and was for OS9 only. No way to run OS9 on an MBP with Leopard.

dherron,

C&C 3 was released by EA Games. It runs in the Cider environment. Try the EA website for a demo. If you cannot find one there, it probably doesn't exist (BTW, the full version of the game runs very well on a Macbook Pro).

Hi,

C&C Generals Demo, see here for download link: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/commandconquergenerals .html

Red Alert 3 was just recently released for Windows.
If and when we will see a Mac OSX version of it is beyond my knowledge.

Have Fun

Hi Stefan,

I've already checked that link, it's just an update... it has a link to the original demo on macgamefiles.com but it doesn't exist anymore 😟

I've tried everywhere else, only found the 1 demo for the original 1990's game to run on OS9 which I can't do 😟

Is there anywhere of purchasing Command & Conquer Generals online? and downloading the full game?

Also, I haven't really played the command & Conquer games before - just the "Warefare inc." App game I bought for my iPhone and i've become addicted to it (even with it's low Playstation 1 like gameplay 🙂 ) so what's the latest release for the Mac? There's been a release since Generals? but Red Alert 3 hasn't been released on Mac yet?

I have never seen a digital download for C&C. I have C&C Generals/Zero Hour (comes in the Deluxe addition). It is a very enjoyable strategy/action game. My only criticism would be that there is too big a difference between Easy mode and Medium Mode.(i.e. your opponents offensive capabilities come much quicker than yours).
