I had a friend at school we liked the same things but he went off in the fash direction and i went off in the commie direction.

I went down the Tim Curry to communist pipeline and he went down the “ironic” fascist to actual fash pipeline.

Clearly the anti commie themes were completely lost on me cos i thought it was rad as fuck

    I remember reading about how during development, the villains were originally going to be Nazis but that got canned because Westwood didn’t want to get locked out of the German market due to censorship as the previous year’s Tiberian Dawn was a surprisingly huge hit there. That puts everything into perspective, really, since you can see little bits of it poking out (like the Soviets specializing in stupidly-heavy, overdesigned tanks).

    jokes on you liberals! they looked way cooler to my 6 year old brain, so the allies never had a chance

    It helps that the villain factions tend to be cooler than Quasi-NATO in C&C games, only exception was Generals which had China as (anti-)heroes.
