    Our Command & Conquer Legos series might be over (for now anyway), but we still like seeing other Command & Conquer Lego stuff like this recreation of Volkov and Chitzkoi from the Mental Omega mod for Yuri's Revenge. This great piece of artwork was made by Coja. Command & Conquer and Lego just fits together perfectly doesn't it?

    There hasn't been much news to report in the past week or so. So I spent some time piecing together a new article called The State of the Command & Conquer Franchise & Where to From Here. I'm not much of a writer but I wanted to share my own thoughts on what is happening with the Command & Conquer franchise. I also address some of unconfirmed news that has crossed my path, like a rumoured 3 year window. And I discuss the ongoing and ridiculous topics of selling the Command & Conquer franchise. Here's a sample. Check out the full article right here.

    That's the information I've found. Sounds like some editing in the registry is required. Most of what you will see in the links below mention Windows 8 or 8.1 but the process is the same. https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/kb/314060 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/hardware/dvd-drive-not-recognized-in-windows-8/ad546c20-b916-4ad5-9858-52e10610ee14

    Thanks once again to @Kevin69Ghost on Twitter for creating and sharing his latest piece of Command & Conquer artwork. This time it's inspired by the original Red Alert. As we have mentioned in the past, we think its great seeing stuff like this so if you spot some Command & Conquer artwork or have some of your creation, please let us know and we will post it here on the site.

    Why go to the trouble of that when there is already a perfectly functioning poll system built into the forums. Also if you want people to take your poll more seriously try to find something better than that ad infested, pop up generating hell hole you have linked to.

    For Throwback Thursday this week its a combination of featuring famous actors in Command & Conquer games, and it ties in with the recent 20th anniversary of Command & Conquer. We are looking back at Joe Kucan as the one and only Kane. From every game Command & Conquer game he has appeared in. Beginning in 1995 through to his last appearance in 2010, a 15 year span. It's easy to see the man has hardly changed at all. Joe Kucan has been inducted into the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008 as the longest recurring actor in any video game franchise to date for his portrayal of Kane. For many years people have asked Joe how he got the role of Kane and he always gave a humorous reply, as if to dodge the question. But if you want know the real story about how Joe Kucan got the role of Kane, watch this video. Its the one and only time he was serious about it. Check back again next Thursday for another Throwback. Send in your ideas for future instalments. We encourage you to share this on social media using the hash tags #CnCTBT and #CNCNZTBT.

    20 years ago today, Westwood Studios released the first Command & Conquer and redefined Real Time Strategy games forever. 31st August 1995, do you remember where you were on that date? Were you even born? Well yes I was born, but I sure as hell don't remember anything important that far back. But that's how long it has been. 20 years is a fantastic achievement for a gaming franchise, and I feel it is something we, as the fans, can be proud of. I'm sure the original development who were at Westwood all those years ago are just as proud. While the future of the franchise remains unknown, we can at least celebrate the Command & Conquer 20th Anniversary and enjoy the legacy of the franchise. Why not mark the occasion by playing some classic C&C online via CnCNet. We invite you to share favourite and fondest memories of the original Command & Conquer in this 20th Anniversary news topic. 20 years of Command & Conquer. Here's to another 20 years!

    If I had the time, patience and motivation I would have arranged stuff like we did 10 years ago for the 10th anniversary http://www.cncnz.com/features/other-specials/command-conquer-10th-anniversary/

    I was asked for a clean version of the Command & Conquer 20th Anniversary logo that has been used on our recent news updates. Here it is.... Its transparent background is great to create your own Command & Conquer 20th Anniversary wallpapers and artwork. Credit goes to Neogrant from http://cncnet.org for making this
  13. Sonic
    Ah so that's who made it. I would have credited him earlier if I had known. All fixed now. I found it last week posted here http://forums.revora.net/topic/102838-command-and-conquer-20th-anniversary-celebrations-and-events/

    Time for this week's Throwback Thursday, and we are continuing with the theme of looking back at famous actors that have appeared in Command & Conquer games. This week its Tim Curry's appearance in 2008's Red Alert 3, he portrayed Premier Cherdenko, leader of the Soviet Union. Tim Curry is veteran British actor with an impressive list of film and television credits to his name. He has very unique and devilish grin that always shines through in Red Alert 3. In recent years, Tim Curry hasn't been doing to well with his health. He suffered a stroke in July 2012, but according to reports, he's recovering now and doing much better. Earlier in 2015 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Actors Fund of America. Check back again next Thursday for another Throwback. Send in your ideas for future instalments.

So feel free to share any C&C fan art links with us.

    This week's Throwback Thursday kicks off a theme of looking back at at famous actors that have appeared in Command & Conquer games. And we start things off by featuring James Earl Jones as General James Solomon in Tiberian Sun from 1999. James Earl Jones is veteran actor with a career spanning more than 60 years. With his signature deep voice he has most notably famous as the voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars movies and Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King, as well as many other film, stage, and television roles. James Earl Jones can also be heard on CNN, announcing the "This is CNN" promo during breaks in programming. He was a great choice to play General James Solomon, a character that required a strong presence, and if you recall he wasn't all that impressed to see the re-emergence of Kane.

    For Throwback Thursday this week we are going all the way back to the original Command & Conquer in 1995. Its the always memorable scene where Kane decides its time for Seth to be eliminated. Up to this point in the Brotherhood of Nod campaign your orders were being given to you by Seth. You are told by Seth that "power shifts quickly in the Brotherhood", and he seeks to have you taken out by sending you on a near impossible mission. This doesn't exactly sit well with Kane, so with one bullet straight to the head, Kane kills Seth, reveals himself to you and grants you a well earned promotion. A true badass moment.

    A few days ago this article, Is EA Allowing This Well-Known Gaming Franchise to Die? appeared on an unlikely source, Gospelherald.com. This article sort of retraces the demise of Command & Conquer that was cancelled back in October 2013, and then it questions if EA are ever going to make another Command & Conquer game or just let the franchise die and be forgotten like so many past EA franchises before it. Here's a small sample.... You can read the full article right here. Thanks @NightTrain45 for the news tip. Here at CNCNZ.com, we are looking towards Gamescom in August to see of EA have any plans or announcements about the future of Command & Conquer.

    For this week's instalment of Throwback Thursday we are remembering the first ever CommandCOM event that took place during Gamescom 2009 in Cologne, Germany. This was one of the biggest community summit events to have ever taken place. As Command & Conquer fans from across the globe assembled in Cologne to get a inside look at Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. Obviously looking back now, the actual game did not live up to the event but a fantastic time was had by all who attended. And like many of the community summits over the years, CNCNZ.com was there! If you would like a detailed trip down memory lane you can read the CommandCOM 2009 Report, plus there are plenty of photos inside our CommandCOM – August 2009 gallery.
