A collection, "C&C the first decade" contains most of the games from
that era. I simply bought it to have an easier install compared to the
really ancient installations on the original disks.
As for lan play, it still sucks on some of the games. The easiest way
we got it working was simply downloading a "COM ****t emulator over
tcp/ip" and using that with all the early games. I don't remember the
name of the software but can dig it up if you are interested.
