Ah, C&C—that legendary real-time strategy game that really helped shape the genre. I remember the first time I played it, and it was a game-changing experience. It was the late '90s, and I was still in the process of discovering what gaming could really be. I had mostly played simpler games before, but C&C opened up a whole new world for me.
The graphics were stunning for the time, and the soundtrack? Unforgettable. Those electric guitar riffs and atmospheric tracks made every mission feel intense, like I was truly leading a battle against an evil empire or defending the world from shadowy forces. The atmosphere in each mission was so immersive that it felt like I was right there, commanding my forces in real time.
I remember the excitement of choosing between the GDI or the Brotherhood of Nod. GDI felt like the clear choice for the good guys, but there was something about the mysterious and cunning Nod that intrigued me. Once I chose, the real fun began. Building my base, managing resources, and constructing my army—everything had to be carefully planned. I could either secure my base and build up a strong defense, or I could go full throttle with an all-out assault.
The thrill of sending out my forces and watching everything unfold was something I hadn’t really experienced before. There was a certain satisfaction in executing a perfect strategy and watching my enemy crumble under the weight of my carefully crafted attacks. But the losses? They stung. Losing a mission and seeing my entire base fall apart was a tough blow, especially when I knew it was a single mistake that led to my defeat. But it was that challenge that kept me coming back for more, tweaking my strategies and learning from my mistakes.
Looking back, C&C wasn’t just another game. It was a pivotal moment in my gaming life, where I learned the power of strategy, patience, and determination. It’s one of those games that left an impression I’ll never forget.

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
