Huh, seems that most people seem to love the CnC game they started with, though I don't think we'll ever hear CnC4 being a favourite :)
I know the feeling of not being able to play or play with choppy framerate. I remember going to internet cafes to play my favourite games.

Glad you enjoyed the post, mate! Maybe try out the older ones too, see what us older folk like so much about them. Though you'll need to forget the uglier graphics and 2D landscape and think of them as how they fit in their specific time, the '90s and early '00s.
