Command & Conquer is a revolutionary real time strategy game developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive. It follows the struggles between the United Nations' Global Defense Inititive (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod, spearheaded by a self-proclaimed messigah known only as "Kane".

The game was initially brought to DOS computers before being quickly ported to Windows, however also saw a release on the Sega Saturn, Macintosh, Nintendo 64 and Sony PlayStation. The console ports are let down due to a lack of online play or mouse support, though the Nintendo 64 version is presented in 3D (though has to cut the full motion video due to cartridge restrictions).

A version of the game was planned for the Sega Mega Drive, but was scrapped, presumably because the console was not powerful enough to handle it. An early prototype has since been dumped however lacks AI support, missions and several units are missing.

Though the game was followed by Command & Conquer: Red Alert, this game would receive a direct sequel in the form of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, which introduced isometric graphics.
