Command & Conquer: Red Alert, the old popular real-time strategy game now can be easily installed in Ubuntu 16.04 and higher via Snap package.<\/p>\n

Command & Conquer: Red Alert is a real-time strategy game and second release in the Command & Conquer series, having been released in October of 1996. it is also the first game in the Red Alert sub-series that takes an alternative path\/story of the main Command & Conquer series.<\/p>\n

C&C: Red Alert is set prior to the events in Command & Conquer in an alternative history where the Soviet Union has invaded Eastern Europe and started a new war against the remaining European countries and the United States.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to Taqi Raza, the game now is available via Snap (containerized software package works securely within most Linux desktop).<\/p>\n
