    I was obsessed with Red Alert 2 and went out and bought CnC Generals the day it came out, came home excited to play and my cheap ass family computer couldn’t run it and I never got to play it.

      Sorry to hear that, I can recommend Generals wholeheartedly. But you probably need Windows 7 to run it, unfortunately.

        @ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net You can install GenPatcher on Windows to give Generals a more modern experience similar to the spirit of OpenRA, but it seems people are having difficulty running Generals with GenPatcher through wine/proton on Linux. You would probably need to virtualize Windows and run the game that way. If you want to run Generals alone, Lutris should have some scripts.

        I’m not sure if any of these links will work for you:
