Red Alert 1v3 online multiplayer
So, these absolute wizards have remade Red Alert, the original C&C, and Dune 2000, but they've updated it for modern computers and monitors, and it has a tonne of additional quality of life improvements, such as full game replays, zooming in and out of the game map, analytics, modding capabilities, map editor, map sharing via the openra resource center.

Looking to contribute to an open-source project
The /r/OpenRA resource center https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA-Resources is effectively unmaintained and not in good shape. Ask in IRC or Discord for instructions. This is not an easy entry-level task, though.

The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?
Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.
