In fact, she was quite weak against vehicles, but strong against structures with her auto-destruction C4 and a вЂњ Kiss it bye-bye.вЂќ Her вЂњ ThatвЂ™s All you got? Chew on this!вЂќ trash talk combined with her вЂњ hahahaaвЂќ cackle and вЂњ cha-chingвЂќВ comments put her on par with the C&C Commando in terms of wit, and her вЂњ Lets rock!вЂќ and вЂњ IвЂ™m there!вЂќ responses when ordering her aroundВ gave her that 90вЂ™s style of cool. I got a thrill from the fact that she could 1-hit any kind of infantry, though I was bummed that she could not kill any kind of vehicle.

Playing with LiteerвЂ™s Tanya in RA, alongside Blaze from Streets of Rage, may very well be my first exposure to a strong female character in video games. Particularly, the combination of these the video sequences and well-balanced maps in RA would expose me to the first вЂњvideo game vixenвЂќ that I fell in love with: Special Agent Tanya AdamsДЇlat, smooth, soft bellies? Tanya ainвЂ™t got time for that! How about abs so rock-solid, you can see them in low resolution! ThatвЂ™s the Tanya I grew up to love, not softcore B-movie actresses and Playboy models. If I am completely honest, I hated the non-building missions in my youth, but as I became older, I began to understand that these missions are a demonstration in good balance and design: give the player X units at the beginning, and create Y number of winnable and/or impossible fights to reduce X units to Z, whereas section A of the map will grant additional units and B and C are (sub)objectives. Additionally, RA taught me lessons in brilliant game design through its usage of scripts such as the patterns in which the AI would attack, but especially in missions where one begins with limited units and cannot build, but must survive until the end. Without them, I doubt I would have fallen in love with orВ the RTS genre in the way that I did. The FMV sequences that made C&C famous indoctrinatedВ me to come to expect that a story-however cheesy-that would beВ conveyed through special FMV cutscenes after achieving certain goals like winning a mission or beating the game theyВ provide a reason why I should care about one faction winning over another. I would much rather tech up to the Chronosphere, teleport a Cruiser into some water near my opponent, and rain hell on their base before it teleported back or use Longbow helicopters to blow up my opponentвЂ™s ore miners since their missiles were strangely ineffective against more mobile targets, even if they were tanks-or especially Soviet Mammoth tanks! Teching up with the Allies was doubly worth the effort because their tech building would reveal the entire map! For that reason, I did not care too much for playing on Westwood Online, because every game was all about the tank rush.

My exposure to the Allies has stuck with me throughout the years, and even to this day, I prefer the вЂњfinesseвЂќ style play in most cases over brute strength. The unit diversity, tech trees, and (attempted) faction differentiation combined for experiences from which I never grew tired, no matter how many hours I pumped into theВ game.

Maybe it was because he liked RA: Retaliation on the PSX while I felt it to be only slightly better than C&C: TD, but whatever the case was, and whatever the shortcomings of the PSX games were (like scratched rental discs from Movie Gallery and Blockbuster Video), all was remedied and forgiven by keyboard and mouse controls.

I cannot say why my brother asked for the original Red Alert ( RA) Collection ( RA, Counterstrike, and Aftermath) on the PC for his birthday.
