I've never played it either, the only RTS I've ever played was Starcraft come to think of it. My friend is obsessed with this series though.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've never played this.

Pretty much this. RA was my first RTS. The first time I watched that intro sequence with Hell March my prepubescent self was amazed.

Downloading now. I haven't played Red Alert since 1997. Kinda interested in seeing what I actually remember.
