Command & Conquer on Wikipedia
Command & Conquer (C&C) is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game franchise created and originally developed by Westwood Studios and currently owned by Electronic Arts. The first game was one of the earliest of the RTS genre, itself based on Westwood Studios' influential strategy game Dune II and introducing trademarks followed in the rest of the series. This includes full-motion video cutscenes with an ensemble cast to progress the story, as opposed to digitally in-game rendered cutscenes. Westwood Studios was purchased by Electronic Arts in 1998 and closed down in 2003. The studio and some of its members were absorbed into EA Los Angeles, which continued development on the series.

A competent, reworked strategy port that handles the controller better than you might expect, and gives up multiplayer to do it.
This is the Nintendo 64 version of Westwood's 1995 real-time strategy game Command & Conquer, ported by Looking Glass Studios and published by Nintendo. It came out in North America on June 29, 1999, with a PAL release about a month later.
The port rebuilds the levels with 3D models and environments, adds four new Special Ops missions, and replaces the live-action video cutscenes with static images backed by voice acting and sound effects. It has no multiplayer. Next Generation said the mouse-driven original's controls were handled beautifully on the N64 pad, and Game Informer's reviewer praised the reworked 3D levels, while a reviewer at The Cincinnati Enquirer thought the genre had moved on and left the port dated.
How it was made
Ported by Looking Glass Studios from the Westwood Studios original and published by Nintendo.
What the press said at the time
“As the first real-time strategy (RTS) game for the Nintendo 64, this is a bit ofa mixed blessing. … This is a nice game, but it could've been much better.”
“the N64 version offers plenty to keep you entertained, but I'd rather play it with”
How the Nintendo 64 version differs
The N64 version's four new Special Ops missions are different from the ones added to the PlayStation port.
Also on other platforms
MS-DOS · Sega Saturn · PlayStation · Mac · Windows
| Nintendo 64 | Looking Glass Studios |
- PlayStation. The PlayStation port lacks multiplayer but adds the fifteen single-player missions from The Covert Operations expansion pack plus six new Special Ops missions, including a secret one.
- MS-DOS. The original DOS release supports multiplayer with up to four players, which was a rarity at the time.
Before you buy
A loose US copy sits below the library median and the fake risk is low. PAL copies cost somewhat more than US ones. The Expansion Pak is optional, since Nintendo listed the game among those enhanced by it, and the manual says the Rumble Pak is supported, also optionally. A complete copy costs a few times the loose price.
