    This sounds really cool but I’ve never heard of it. Can anyone vouch for the safety of the programs?

      I have used OPENRA before, it’s safe.

      It’s also open source, so you can go dredge the code yourself if you are really concerned.

          Now you’re gaming like it’s 1996.

          It’s pretty sick at a lan, because being open source, can just copy paste it to friends machines to do massive brawls.

    This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

      Just Windows, Mac and Linux. There’s no Android build (that’s what would be needed for such tablet).
