Play Command & Conquer (Germany) Online

Game Overview

Command & Conquer on the N64 is one of those rare console ports that actually does justice to a PC strategy classic. The controls take some getting used to—you’re moving units with a joystick instead of a mouse, after all—but once it clicks, it’s surprisingly smooth. You’ve got the same gritty, FMV-heavy campaign from the original, complete with live-action cutscenes that somehow feel even cheesier on a tiny CRT screen.

Picking between GDI and Nod factions still matters—GDI’s brute force versus Nod’s sneaky hit-and-run tactics—and the fog of war keeps things tense. The multiplayer’s where it shines, though. Nothing beats frantically building a tank rush while your friend tries to sneak commandos into your base. Just don’t expect the frame rate to keep up when things get chaotic.

It’s not perfect, but for a late-90s attempt at RTS on a console? Way better than it had any right to be.
