Game DVD[edit]
New game content[edit]
The first DVD delivers each of the games with their most recent patches applied (except Command & Conquer: Red Alert which wasn't delivered at the latest version due to the latest patch being a beta version), all of which are bundled into a single installer. The original installers for the games, which were known to be very immersive and graphically pleasing, were not included. They were replaced by a single standard InstallShield wizard installer. The installer does enable the player to pick and choose what to install, but assuming that all the games are selected, a total of 7 separate serial keys need to be entered.
The compilation comes as its own program, with a launcher which allows players to choose between the installed games. A third-party shortcut installer has been made to create shortcuts for each of the individual games.[1]
Bugs and Patches[edit]
Many bugs have been reported to be present in Electronic Arts' The First Decade pack, including some that didn't affect the original releases of the games. EA responded by releasing two patches: v1.01 and v1.02.[2] Furthermore, an unofficial patch, v1.03, has since been released by nathancnc from Ontario, Canada. It does not require the v1.01 or v1.02 patches, as it includes all of the fixes from them plus more and negates the need for the DVD to be in the drive while playing. It is available only for the English version of The First Decade; it will not work on the German version. It can be downloaded from Command & Patch. A second unofficial update, v1.04, was announced but eventually cancelled.
Bonus DVD[edit]
The Bonus DVD included in the compilation pack is a video DVD including the following video items:
- The First Decade
- Louis Castle Interview
- 10 Years of Command & Conquer(TM)
- The Future
- The Community
- A Tribute to Command & Conquer(TM)
- Bonus Features:
- The First Decade Trailer
- Concept Artwork
- The First Decade Credits
As the bonus DVD is a video DVD, it can be played on any conventional video DVD player.
Bonus poster[edit]
Also included in the compilation is a single A3 double-sided poster, showing teaser high-resolution renders for the then-upcoming Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. One side is a highly upgraded version of the new GDI Ion Cannon, the other render is an image of the GDI's new Predator tank.
