  • OpenRA

    Open Source real-time strategy game engine for early Westwood games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert written in C# using SDL and OpenGL. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X.

  • You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

  • teiserver

    Middleware server for online gaming

  • May I present, Beyond All Reason - https://www.beyondallreason.info/

    Like OpenRA it's open source too.

    Disclaimer, I'm one of the devs for it.

  • TiberianDawnHD

    binary compatible OpenRA mod that uses Command & Conquer: Remastered assets

  • All the art and sound assets come from a legally purchased copy of C&C, specifically the "C&C Remastered Collection" on Steam or Origin. OpenRA uses the assets from that, so it's all legal! Stratagus does the same thing with Warcraft assets.

    A complete installation guide including the music missing from the OpenRA Dune 2000 mod
