7. Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Platform(s): PC and PlayStaiton
Year: 1996
Look up RTS in the video game dictionary and chances are you’ll find the Command & Conquer series pictured. Red Alert was the one entry that PC gamers hold dear to their hearts because of its ear-pleasing soundtrack, fantastic visuals, great control system, and spot-on gameplay. EA’s gamble to integrate a sci-fi 20th century conflict into the C&C universe, where Albert Einstein invents a time machine to stop Adolf Hitler from starting WWII, only added to its vast fun factor. —AB
