Command & Conquer (PS)

Out of the five games we received as part of our PlayStation bundle so many years ago, Command & Conquer appeared the most daunting. It would be the last of the five to be played and this was when a friend, who was familiar with the series, came over to show us.

One disc is for The Allies (the good guys) and the other for the Soviet Empire (The bad guys!)
