Comman & Conquer: Red Alert is a real-time strategy computer game in the Command & Conquer series, released by Westwood Studios in 1996. It is the prequel to the original 1995 Command & Conquer game, taking place in the early alternate history of the Command & Conquer universe when Allied Forces battle across Europe against an aggressive Soviet Union. It was initially available for PC (MS-DOS & Windows 95 versions included in one package), and was subsequently ported to PlayStation. The PlayStation version was subsequently re-released as a download for PSP.
