Random Game Post #1 - Command & Conquer: Sole Survivor

I'm gonna kick off the Random Game Post feature with an unusual entry in the Command & Conquer series: Sole Survivor.

Released in 1997, this title followed the popular Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert DOS and Windows 95 entries in the franchise. Sole Survivor is a multiplayer only, survival-style game that allowed up to fifty-one players at the same time! Everyone only gets one unit and the goal, obviously, is to be the last one standing at the end. The gameplay is identical to Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert, and uses the original graphics from the franchise's first ever release. There were twenty-three units to select from, including the Tiberium-mutant life form the Visceroid and even some dinosaurs.

Unfortunately for Sole Survivor, it did not perform nearly as well as Tiberian Dawn or Red Alert. Reviewers at the time were mixed and the game sold fairly poorly, making this one of the most rare Command & Conquer titles to be found. While not stellar, the game isn't too bad and can be fun for a lark with some friends since only one copy is needed to install, and a no CD kicks the disc requirement. All in all, an odd title in the franchise, but does not hold the title for the absolute worst. That distinction goes to Tiberian Twilight, the true black sheep of the franchise.
