Red Alert is set in an alternate parallel universe where the invention of the time travel device has enabled Albert Einstein to travel back in time and change everything by removing Adolf Hitler from this new timeline. With just this little change, history evolves in an unexpected manner and fuels the brand-new World War II conflict between the USSR and the Allied Nations of Europe and the USA.
The main campaign of the game is separated into two distinct modes, each following one of these playable factions who have their own unique units, structures, and combat tactics. Each of the campaigns follows the visual presentation of the Command & Conquer franchise, with the generous presence of pre and post-mission briefings, audio calls, and full-motion video cinematics filmed with real actors.
The main advantage of playing Red Alert 1 Online for Mac over the original game is the presence of the fully-featured online component powered by CnCNet that revolutionized the way the players can find and enjoy online matches. These features include streamlined installation and use, server browser, chat lobby, configuration tool, built-in cheat prevention, fast online operation and low lag, presence of map editors, and comprehensive compatibility for all modern versions of macOS.
Red Alert 1 Online can today be experienced on every Macintosh that can handle operations of modern macOS, including the aged MacBooks that don’t have a dedicated GPU chip. For both new and old fans of classic Mac RTS titles, this game represents a must-own experience, a great tactical challenge, and a streamlined online playground with easy access to matches.
