Undoubtedly the coolest installer ever created. Too bad they didn't do this as a retro nod in the latest one.

I played C&C years ago... yet to this day I remember the installation.

Holy hell, back in the day when installs took less than a minute.

Crushbug: No, it took a long time. I believe it was recorded in DOSbox with today's computers.

I think Tiberium Sun had a talking installer in Windows, but it sucked.

Yeah, back when drives read at 4x (omg speed!11!1) it took helluva long time. More time to enjoy the bleeps and bloops of the progress bars and background sound

ant

I had a 2X back then!
