Steps to play thus game; Acquire the game CDs. Buy a CD drive. Install the game. Encounter a serious error. Change the properties file in the documents. Encounter another serious error. Install the no CD patch. Encounter another serious error. Eventually fix it.
Alternatively, you can sell your soul and get Origin, which lets you buy the entire series for $20. You can play the newer titles, and via black magic occasionally even run RA2
I have a simpler solution: * Download a Repack of Zero Hour * Install it * Download a Documents folder for Zero Hour (game sometimes couldn't create it itself on new systems) * In Compartability tab of Properties set "Run as Administrator" and "Compartable with Windows XP SP2" * Play! If game still could start - delete file "dbghelp.dll" from game directory. If you want more bugfixes, better resolution and unlocked framerate - google "Zero Hour GenTool".
I was introduced to C&C by my brother when he brought home Tiberian Sun. Sadly that game ruined me and don't find any of the other C&C games as fun, not saying they're bad though.
The GLA mission intros are THE BEST ones ever! Brutally satirical! The whole game delivered such a devestating political message that many entertainment companies are afraid to do nowadays. I still remember the GLA angry mob upgrade AK-47! It was on point!
great game but the aliens go super-power on you pretty quick. they're fun to play as though. it's also really resource intensive for a RTS game, which can be annoying. I always love Nod, even if they suck...they get the cool stuff XD
I grew up on Command & Conquer! I've played every game in the series, (Even the FPS literally based around one, single unit in the first game) - from the original all the way up to Generals: Zero Hour. When they began to bring back the series with Red Alert 3 and Tiberium Wars 4 however, I did sort of fall out of love with the franchise. The best thing about that era was seeing "Nature Boy" Ric Flaire beat up a Russian bear in the commercials.
I think only Red alert 1 and the original CnC games have trouble on it but I might be misremembering. It does suck that whatever changed caused problems. You can find patches if you do enough searching
USA Air is the top army for sure. China Inf and all 4 GLA are also very good. USA vanilla gets cheap Humvees which makes them fairly strong as well. China vanilla is the worst.
Aside from the abomination of C&C4, this entire franchise is amazing. Recently been playing through Tiberium Wars and Kane’s Wrath. Great content btw, keep it up
Generals was so much fun. One of my favourite things was kitting Humvees with TOW missiles, 3 snipers and 2 infantry with grenades. A few of these bad boys and you'll pretty much take out any threat. Snipers one shot kill all infantry, TOW for vehicles and grenades to clear buildings
@@lucaslaster4244 That is fine, going to the one place not corrupted by Capitalism is my favorite C&C line, but my fav C&C game is still Generals. It and Starwars Galacticbattlegrounds were my first two RTS games, and I love them both
Red alert 2 is most definitely my favorite. Specifically the Expansion Yuri's revenge. Though I love 99% of the games in the series alot. (We don't talk about 4. Ah shit I did it anyways) Also you should give the rise of the reds mod. It adds in the Russian and European continental Army into the game.
Thank you kind sir for a great, great episode that happens to have been released on my birthday. (I'm not a native English speaker, so I don't know if this comment is grammatically correct.)
Command and conquer Red Alert on Ps1 was possibly one of my highest of memories as a child watching my father play it until I had to go to bed. Then proceeding to wait patiently in bed until I hear the old school fuzz turn of on the TV in the lounge room and hear the door click to my parents room, I would then proceed to quickly sneak out to turn the tv on so it didn’t have time to cool down and make too much noise before I start playing red alert at 3am... ah I miss my childhood.
@@Wilderweincd lol... yes! Now u say it, i remember! It's true!... but the pictures were the same (like terrorist with bomb attached)... it was not really a difference... 🤪
Lol nah :P TANK GENERAL! My record is beating an easy army in LESS then 4 minutes. Having litetaly 6 rank 2 battlemaster tanks coming to your base within 3 minutes is a terrifying thing lol~ i can confirm, its hilarious seeing an enemy being destroyed in 4 minutes. Sure it was an easy army. But its pretty OP. Besides... grainger would NEVER be able to penetrate my base. Gattling cannons plus tank hunters in bunkers is almost not able to be destroyed without long range units or super weapons. Or a SHIT TON of commanche helicopters
If you are going all out rush, three good options exist: Demolition general, Toxin General, or Infantry general; but it largely depends on which general you are facing as to which is the best choice of those three, but all can rush some opponents in a few minutes to win. That being said, cheese rushing computers gets boring somewhat fast.

What do you do about compatibility with modern operating systems? I couldn't get mine to work on the computer I bought in 2016.
@@jasonlupo4117 well we have the original Series. Or at least some of the Series. But u can also buy some of IT from steam
Alright you're the first youtuber I've ever heard speak the name Empire Earth in all my years of watching.
Massive Props.
He actually made a video about how super balanced it is a while ago ;)
Haha thought the same, actually EE1 is one of the best RTS games
Very underrated
Not only EE but also Command and Conquer Generals
Lol I miss Empire Earth sadly I'm having trouble in Windows 10
@@chris48132 don't forget EE2 everyone forgets about it :(
Man I loved command and conquer tiberium sun everything was a chemical weapon.
the unabashedly pure caricature of this game is amazing i wish this level of absurdity could survive in the modern gaming world
_Back when dark humor wasn't a crime._ 😔
I'm wondering how perfectly balanced C&C 3 Tiberium Wars is.
Actually very few, with the exception of some juggernauts bugs and the well know mothership-portal combo
I may be American, but, The Queen, and Yorkshire tea, hold a special place in my cholesterol overloaded heart.
@LineOfCars The tea must be added to the sea. For you see, if the tea is not added to the sea, there will be no liberty.
@@haraldhardrada5619 You can't pronounce liberty without tea *God Save The Queen intensifies*
Tea is full of antioxidants, and contributes to lowering unhealthy cholesterol.
Brits love they tea lol is in they smiles
I still play that from time to time, didn’t actually know about that. However I’mma just say, use that with the GLA demolition general cause his scud deals more damage than everyone else!
C&C Generals?
I must be dreaming.
EDIT: Favorite C&C game: Red Alert 2.
SPACE!!!!
Kirov reporting!
I grew up with c&c games so when EA killed it, it was a true kick to the knackers
Yes I miss Westwood studios
Definitely agree. I miss Westwood too :(
Command and conquer remaster on steam is EA's first olive branch in years regarding the franchise. Check it out.
First one i played was on ps1 hahahahah
Same and ea killed off one of my favorite smaller rts's called battleforge too. I mean yeah they didn't make as much but couldn't they have let lem lose the ea brand and do their own thing?
The best C&C is "Command&Conquer: Queen and Admirals." and expansion "Yorkshire Tea Party.".
Steps to play thus game;
Acquire the game CDs.
Buy a CD drive.
Install the game.
Encounter a serious error.
Change the properties file in the documents.
Encounter another serious error.
Install the no CD patch.
Encounter another serious error.
Eventually fix it.
Alternatively, you can sell your soul and get Origin, which lets you buy the entire series for $20.
You can play the newer titles, and via black magic occasionally even run RA2
I have a simpler solution:
* Download a Repack of Zero Hour
* Install it
* Download a Documents folder for Zero Hour (game sometimes couldn't create it itself on new systems)
* In Compartability tab of Properties set "Run as Administrator" and "Compartable with Windows XP SP2"
* Play!
If game still could start - delete file "dbghelp.dll" from game directory.
If you want more bugfixes, better resolution and unlocked framerate - google "Zero Hour GenTool".
@@sethb3090 Ehh. The CnCNet patches fix pretty much everything in the older games.
@@sethb3090
The CnC Decade pack is literally the only thing I have in my Origin account. Luckily the new remastered edition is on Steam as well.
CD drive, a relic of the ancient past
NGL tho, this game was my life when I was like 10.
Also this was probably my favourite C&C, that or one of the Red Alerts
Man, these are solid masterpieces, I play to this day with my brother, just played yesterday!
Dude this game is what I’ve been looking for, for absolutely YEARS and I finally found it. Thank you so much my dude
C & C Generals is one of the best games!
I'm so happy you are playing my favorite c&c gane. Generals is the best!
do you get random crashes during your skirmishes
I was introduced to C&C by my brother when he brought home Tiberian Sun. Sadly that game ruined me and don't find any of the other C&C games as fun, not saying they're bad though.
Same best c and c
@@lilox3690 That's how i feel about command and conquer 1, that sound track was off the chain.
@@bingobongo8657 I havent, no. What is your pc like?
I enjoyed this video so much but as an OG, I was also mildy infuriated. I liked how you built your superweapon on the battlefront XD
Litterally my favorite game ever, thanks much spiff!!!!!!!!@
I caved and bought the C&C Ultimate collection on Orihgin before the video was even over. Completely overcome with nostalgia!
The GLA mission intros are THE BEST ones ever! Brutally satirical! The whole game delivered such a devestating political message that many entertainment companies are afraid to do nowadays.
I still remember the GLA angry mob upgrade AK-47! It was on point!
@@mikhailchuev8715 AK-47s, for everyone! YEAH!
@@goksir5845 top ten C&C quotes for sure.
@@goksir5845 please, may I have some shoes?
Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is my favorite. It's still really fun everyone should check it out
great game but the aliens go super-power on you pretty quick. they're fun to play as though. it's also really resource intensive for a RTS game, which can be annoying. I always love Nod, even if they suck...they get the cool stuff XD
I grew up on Command & Conquer! I've played every game in the series, (Even the FPS literally based around one, single unit in the first game) - from the original all the way up to Generals: Zero Hour. When they began to bring back the series with Red Alert 3 and Tiberium Wars 4 however, I did sort of fall out of love with the franchise. The best thing about that era was seeing "Nature Boy" Ric Flaire beat up a Russian bear in the commercials.
My favorite game of all time is actually C&C: Red Alert 2.
Same that was the first video game I ever played
@@gnomeddev You were one of the devs at Westwood?
Mistype sorry
preach
I see that you are a man of culture
Yesss!!!! You finally played the most iconic strategy game, my childhood, I love you mate!!!
To this day, the C&C community is one of the healthiest gaming communities out there.
I wanna see Spiff exploit Shogun II Fall of the samurai (There are tea farms Btw!)
Up-vote? XD
3 factions plus a bonus one? More like 3 factions with an aditional 9 variations of those factions
I loved this game. My introduction to Command and Conquer was Red Alert but Generals is what kept me hooked. I wish we could get a remaster.
its mad how he can play c&c in windows 10
Teach me
Cant run It too
I think only Red alert 1 and the original CnC games have trouble on it but I might be misremembering. It does suck that whatever changed caused problems. You can find patches if you do enough searching
Gentool helps
maybe to try with virtual machine with win7
I had my dad drive to our old house that we rent out because i remembered he had the original discs and Its kinda easy when you have the disc.
The best Command and Conquer game was obviously C&C:RA wherein Tim Curry conquered space.
I'm not really a fan of RTS games but I watched all the the Tim Curry scenes on RUclips.
Tim Curry was in Red Alert 3. C&C3 was Tiberium Wars
@@phodon129 edited my post for accuracy, thanks for the accuracy.
It was the one place not conquer by capitalism
Nope. Generals is the best.
Him:Picking 25 frames as speed
Also him
5 Minutes lauter: the game cant to anything above 25 frames 😂😂😂
One of those stock images could be the Spiff Himself, but we'll never know
The Chinook glitch is what let me cheese the American campaign. I discovered it about 3 levels in, then never stopped.
Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour is one of the few video games of my childhood that i keep coming back to other than of course Rome Total War.
for a second I thought you were going to play the Crazymod...
This game is probably the most balanced game in the universe, not gonna lie.
The original generals definitely is, I would argue that zero hour is quite unbalanced though between some of the generals lol
Michael Parobek china inf and usa air are super unbalanced in zero hour.
As teh_pwnerer said “China Inf is for n00bs”
U guys are joking right? Gla demo general, setup as many war factories and just spam quad cannons, scorpion tanks and scuds
bee LaL I dunno, I feel like USA air was the most imba in zero hour
USA Air is the top army for sure. China Inf and all 4 GLA are also very good. USA vanilla gets cheap Humvees which makes them fairly strong as well. China vanilla is the worst.
Aside from the abomination of C&C4, this entire franchise is amazing. Recently been playing through Tiberium Wars and Kane’s Wrath. Great content btw, keep it up
Generals was so much fun. One of my favourite things was kitting Humvees with TOW missiles, 3 snipers and 2 infantry with grenades. A few of these bad boys and you'll pretty much take out any threat. Snipers one shot kill all infantry, TOW for vehicles and grenades to clear buildings
Nah 1 sniper 4 missile guys
I love C&C Generals. Was one of my first RTS games. Also, SUCK IT REDS, BLUE TEAM FOREVER
Ima red alert kind of guy
@@lucaslaster4244 That is fine, going to the one place not corrupted by Capitalism is my favorite C&C line, but my fav C&C game is still Generals. It and Starwars Galacticbattlegrounds were my first two RTS games, and I love them both
Lol i loved it too. But i usualy was either red or green
Loved that you had to research 'footware' to get your resource gatherers to move quicker in that game lmao.
I have been playing this game since my childhood I had no idea this exploit existed
C&C 3 Tiberium Wars in my second favorite, but the one that warms my heart the most is Red Alert 2
Kirov reporting!
Conscript reporting!
@@DrRussian Armageddon is here!
I liked before I even saw a second of this video. Also as to my favorite C&C game... This one. Its this one. That's why I liked so fast...
Rich people take note of the lessons this game teaches. If you buy us poor's a pair of shoes we'll be 15% more productive.
Never heard of some of these exploits since playing this in 2003, am I living under the rock?
There's more then just this exploit
Red alert 2 is most definitely my favorite. Specifically the Expansion Yuri's revenge. Though I love 99% of the games in the series alot. (We don't talk about 4. Ah shit I did it anyways)
Also you should give the rise of the reds mod. It adds in the Russian and European continental Army into the game.
What do you mean 4? I swear that Command and Conquer only had series go up to three. Anything else was just horrible fiction.
Greatest sound bite ever was from this game. "Ak-47 for everyone!" and gla is green
So early my tea hasn't finished properly brewing

Just a quick info - The game speed literally sets the frames you're going to be getting...
This is my favorite game series from growing up love them so much
Thank you kind sir for a great, great episode that happens to have been released on my birthday.

Native English speaker here. Your comment is perfect!
Non-native English speaker here - don't bother if you make one or two mistakes!
Even native speakers do sometimes - and they don't care :-)
UNLIMITED ME!
(As a side note it felt a bit surreal having spiff say my name throughout the video. This must be how the queen feels!)
Command and conquer Red Alert on Ps1 was possibly one of my highest of memories as a child watching my father play it until I had to go to bed. Then proceeding to wait patiently in bed until I hear the old school fuzz turn of on the TV in the lounge room and hear the door click to my parents room, I would then proceed to quickly sneak out to turn the tv on so it didn’t have time to cool down and make too much noise before I start playing red alert at 3am... ah I miss my childhood.
Yay, spiff is doing C&C, now go break Red Alert 2 with early game tank Zerg or the prism-mirage-IFV with engineer combo :S
Oh man, I remember filling IFVs with chrono troopers, yuris, the Cuban special unit, and so on.
where can i download this game
The zeppelins lol... just... an...army...of...zeppelins.... LOL
when you realise tea is slang for gossip and spiff is the newsreader for the York Press
U can use the sniper unit in the rebel faction and snipe a construction vehicle on other factions and board it
You now have other factions as well
I like all of your videos. I only wish I could like this one twice because of all the white hot C&C Generals action.
I am from germany - and i played this game a lot when i was young - never heard that it was banned! =)
The basegame wasnt but zerohour was censored in Germany, everything was a robot.
@@Wilderweincd lol... yes! Now u say it, i remember! It's true!... but the pictures were the same (like terrorist with bomb attached)... it was not really a difference... 🤪
@@Katzenkotze85 nooo they changed, they where humaniods. And the suicide unit was a pack of dynamite with 4 weels
Doing my childhood game dirty huh?
The best C&C Generals exploit is called General Grainger.
Lol nah :P
TANK GENERAL!
My record is beating an easy army in LESS then 4 minutes.
Having litetaly 6 rank 2 battlemaster tanks coming to your base within 3 minutes is a terrifying thing lol~ i can confirm, its hilarious seeing an enemy being destroyed in 4 minutes.
Sure it was an easy army. But its pretty OP.
Besides... grainger would NEVER be able to penetrate my base.
Gattling cannons plus tank hunters in bunkers is almost not able to be destroyed without long range units or super weapons.
Or a SHIT TON of commanche helicopters
You got it all wrong GLA is the way to go for rush mod 3 word suicidal motorcycles and bunkers
If you are going all out rush, three good options exist: Demolition general, Toxin General, or Infantry general; but it largely depends on which general you are facing as to which is the best choice of those three, but all can rush some opponents in a few minutes to win. That being said, cheese rushing computers gets boring somewhat fast.
@@adrianbundy3249 yeah agree GLA and China inf are the way to go for fast rush I would go with GLA toxin if I am going against China infantry Easy win
