Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 (PC DVD Box) 2 Disc Set (Sold Out Software)

Experience one of the greatest and most iconic real-time strategy (RTS) games ever made with this pristine Sold Out Software physical release of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.

Carefully stored, barely used, and in remarkable condition throughout, this set features a mirror-clean disc free of scratches, making it ideal for physical media collectors, C&C enthusiasts, or RTS retro gamers.

Released by Westwood Studios in October 2000, Red Alert 2 drops players into an alternate-history Cold War gone wildly off the rails.

Following a timeline where Albert Einstein eliminated Adolf Hitler via time travel, the Soviet Union, led by Premier Romanov and his mysterious, mind-controlling advisor Yuri, launches a surprise invasion on the United States.

The game combines high-stakes base building with over-the-top, B-movie style narrative flair, brought to life through legendary Full-Motion Video (FMV) live-action cutscenes starring Udo Kier, Ray Wise, and Barry Corbin.
