The Past Ain't What It Used To Be... The first Command & Conquer received its last official update on the 21st of June, 1996. Since then, the game has been ported to Windows (as "Gold" version), and re-released in the big "The First Decade" collection pack, but has never received any more bug fixes. The C&C Gold Patch 1.06 project aims to bring this classic into the new millennium, by fixing the old bugs, supporting higher resolutions, and adding new modding and mapping possibilities. It also contains an addon-based language system, allowing anyone to create translation packs for the game.
The new features of CnC-DDraw and the game in action:
-Game playing in 800x600
-No black lines in the scene
-Video stretched from 640x400 to full window
-Game played in windowed mode
Yeah! This is the best feature ever!
It certainly makes the game transitions more natural in hi-res now it doesn't suddenly switch to only using the upper left corner :)
