Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 on M1 MBP
OpenRA may be an option. It's an open source engine for older Westwood games, and it officially supports RA1, Tiberian Dawn (C&C 1) and Dune 2000. There's also a RA2 "mod" (in OpenRA parlance, a mod is a game).

Let's hear it for the retro PC gaming Steam Deck users.
OpenRA, an open source recreation of the Red Alert engine, should support it. It's experimental but it worked well enough when I tried it years ago.

[Stram] Command and Conquer Remastered Collection ($9.99 / 50% Off)
There is a RA2 mod for OpenRA out there (and I have not tried this, though I have run OpenRA before), but of course that's not quite as good as a full remaster.

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)

You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

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.
