Red Alert 2 on Windows 98 in 2026
Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 is one of my personal favorites, and an absolute high point in the C&C series. What Westwood Studios tended to do is improve the technology with the Tiberium Series, then Polish it further when it was time to make a sequel to the Red Alert Series.
In this video, you will see how I install the game on Windows 98 SE, the load times are very real, as for the desktop I am using: A HP Kayak XM600, Pentium III EB @ 866Mhz with 128MB RAM and a Matrox G400 AGP 16MB
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 contains two playable factions, the Soviets and the Allies, which both previously appeared in Command & Conquer: Red Alert. The single-player campaign is structured in an alternate-ending mode instead of a progressive story mode. Like its predecessor, Red Alert 2 features a large amount of full-motion video cutscenes between missions and during gameplay, with an ensemble cast including Ray Wise, Udo Kier, Kari Wuhrer, and Barry Corbin.
