Does anyone know any good games where you kill fascist CIA and US army scum? Ideally as a Marxist-Leninist freedom fighter or as a soldier of a socialist country. Otherwise, games where you fight US puppets like Israel as say a Palestinian freedom fighter are also more than welcome.
i recently watched a let’s play of red alert 1 (been a minute since i played it) and boy howdy, the allied mission videos have very strong nazi vibes in places.
westwood made stalin comically evil (all that’s missing is the big spoon) but they also made the allies pretty nazi. i dont think they did it consciously though, it’s just their westoid brain scrambling things.
Funniest thing is that it’s kinda dialectical, Red Alert series start with assassination of Hitler when he comes out of prison in 1924, which wouldn’t stop nazism, but shuffle its leadership maybe with someone less revanchist but still nazi. So the course in which the nazi Germany allies and finally unites with USA, UK and France against USSR is very probable especially it’s exactly what west tried to do in our timeline.
yeah, the red alert allied timeline is what westoids have been wishing had actually happened. patton’s “we fought the wrong enemy” quote and all that.
and of course they couldnt give stalin the victory on the soviet timeline, it had to be some kane bullshit.
Kane ending was about the only reason to play C&C4 though. Half of C&C maniacs i know were like “HE DIDN’T EVEN LIED” lmao
i only played the original c&c and red alert 1, dont know anything about the later games
In a nutshell Brotherhood of Nod was some crazy scientology cult but with tons of military operations, but lo and behold the aliens really came eventually and Kane really took his cultists to the stars just as he promised.
