C&C the First Decade query

[boogaloo dude]

Hi,
I have the First Decade set, but I cannot access some of the games...
I can play C&C but cannot access 'The Covert Operations'

I can play Red Alert, but not access 'The Aftermath' nor 'Counterstrike'
C&C and red Alert both play without the disk needing to be inserted, the other games won't.
I basically cannot see a menu to get onto the other games with C&C and Red Alert.

I hope the answer is simple and suggests I am an idiot

thanks in advance

Run the short cut. it will bring up a menu for a list of games. select one of them, and yes, you need the CD to play.

No probs with the disc, but...what/where is the short cut?

[chickendippers]

Click the "Add/Remove" icon at the bottom-right corner and select "Modify" to install other games.

"cannot access 'The Covert Operations'"?

It's just the "New Missions" button ingame... same for the RA expansions.

That makes sense
thanks

It seems I had no idea that the extra games were actually on the menu as 'New Missions'

If that is right then I can play them all on C&C and C&C Red Alert
but...

I cannot access RA 2 or Generals Zero Hour at all

When I insert my game disk, I get this menu

Red Alert 2 and Generals are grayed out because you have Yuri's Revenge and Zero Hour selected.

Also when using The First Decade I recommend getting the 1.03 patch pack for TFD it fixes problems in TFD, makes all the games NoCD, patches RA to 3.03 and patches C&C1 to 1.06b Revision 1. You should get the latest C&C1 patch from here though (1.06b Revision 2)

[chickendippers]

They're greyed out with a tick meaning they will be installed and you do not have the choice to de-select them. This is because RA2 is the pre-requisite for Yuri's Revenge, so in order to install Yuri's Revenge, RA2 must also be installed.

In order to remove RA2 you must first untick Yuri's Revenge, you can then untick RA2.

Wish they had supplied some instructions with it
