Collector's Edition



Chertsey, UK – February 10, 2006

Electronic Arts is pleased to announce Command & Conquer - The First Decade, one of the largest PC franchise compilations to date, is shipping to stores across Europe today. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the special collector's edition will include a dozen of your favourite C&C games spanning the last ten years plus a bonus DVD of commemorative video features.

With over 23 million units sold worldwide to date, the C&C franchise has defined the Real-time strategy (RTS) genre with cutting-edge visuals, epic storylines, and rich mission complexities. The series has evolved over a decade, spawned over a dozen titles, and continues to be the genre benchmark by which all RTS games are measured. With its explosive style of warfare, the C&C franchise has grown over the years to span multiple fictional genres, including the science fiction Tiberium universe, the revisionist history of the Red Alert universe, and a twist on modern warfare with Command & Conquer TM - Generals.

"Command & Conquer - The First Decade is a true collection of amazing, innovative C&C games from the last ten years," said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EALA. "We wanted to give back to our loyal community and avid fans and also offer a great way for gamers to experience the series and immerse themselves into the legendary franchise for the first time."

The Command & Conquer The First Decade bonus DVD will feature a half-dozen exclusive video features including an interview with Louis Castle, who is also co-founder of Westwood Studios, the creator of the C&C franchise. As a special bonus and rare opportunity, C&C fans from around the world were offered a chance to prove their undying devotion to the C&C series by submitting videos showcasing why they are the biggest C&C fan. Six fan videos were selected and will be featured in a montage piece included on the bonus DVD.

Ho-yus :)

That's a lot of gaming there :)
It is a pity they can't do what other people have done e.g. Elder Scrolls, GTA, and just release it for free.
We're dealing with EA here. I bet the story would have been different if Westwood was still… Westwood.
wonder if they will fix the slow down issues of zero hour with windows xp :/ if it aint fixed i wont be buying it. And also there was an interview recently and they said that we have definetly not seen the end of C&C :)
