Trivia
Yuri shows the General a doctored photo of himself sitting with the late supreme leader Joseph Stalin. This iconic photo, which originally had Vladimir Lenin in Yuri's place, was itself doctored by combining a Lenin photo with a Stalin photo. Stalin wanted to rewrite history to show that he had been Lenin's most trusted disciple when in fact Lenin knew Stalin to be a mad dog who would ruin the country if left unchecked. The dying Lenin made a sincere but ultimately futile effort to prevent Stalin from succeeding to the top of the Soviet Union.

Goofs
In Operation: Deep sea, when General Carville was "drinking" from his coffee mug. It was obvious that the coffee mug was empty.

Quotes
Crazy Ivan: [after selecting where to send him] I lost a bomb, do you have it?

Alternate versions
In the "Command and Conquer: First Decade" version of the game the scene in the intro where the Statue of Liberty is struck by a Soviet missile and the head breaks off is cut, instead the new scene has a super imposed picture of an already destroyed Statue of Liberty in it's place.

Brilliant. Sheer fun.

Completely over the top strategy game. Full of very improbable units such as giant squid, mind readers and airships. Well balanced gameplay with any unit(no matter how cheap) fulfilling a niche and capable of destroying any other unit(no matter how dear) if used properly.

Missions are well planned and thought out. On the side there's a skirmish mode in which you may play as one of nine nations, each commanding a special unit.

Admittly the plot does n't hold much water but the characters featured are amusing(although in some cases a lil' crude) caricatures. Overall great fun and well worth taking a look at especially if you're already a C&C fan. 8.5/10
