Is it still worth playing?
Westwood Studios' 1995 real time strategy game for DOS. In an alternate history, a meteorite carrying Tiberium lands near the Tiber River in Italy, and the Brotherhood of Nod under Kane fights the UN's GDI. You choose GDI or Nod, with Tiberium the only resource, harvesters feeding refineries, bases built from a Mobile Construction Vehicle, a tech tree and a need to manage power. There are two campaigns with full motion video briefings, 37 missions in total, and an overhead map lets you pick some of your next targets. GDI relies mainly on conventional arms and heavy firepower, while Nod favors hit and run. It helped define the real time strategy genre. Two asymmetric campaigns with varied objectives such as sabotage, rescue and time limits still give it variety today.
