They are all marked as Singleplayer. Is that just a mistake or did they strip out any multiplayer functionality?
Also: will this require Origin?
Yuri's Revenge had dolphins with laser beams strapped to them as a commandable unit and you're worried about the logistics of small arms destroying a tank?
Caved and got the bundle.
I installed Red Alert 2, it doesn't need Origin. But at least on my Linux install the main menu is just a black screen. :(
There are community projects that make those games run like a charm on modern systems. Tiberian sun and red alert 2 run perfectly on my steam deck. Check out pcgamningwiki
Thanks. Didn't bother to go look for it myself, as it is already well past midnight over here. But I'll check it out after some sleep.
Seeing as a fair chunk of those games used IPX and GameSpy I am not shocked by the lack of multiplayer.
Store page does not list Origin as a dependency, but I can't know for certain
