| Welcome to Red Alert Archive - the largest Red Alert site on the net! |
|
First of all - This site is all about my favorite game - Command & Conquer: Red Alert!
As you already may or may not know, Red Alert is an excellent real-time strategy game.
It was created by Westwood Studios Inc. in 1996 and it still remains one of the top
representatives of the whole real-time strategy genre.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert is in my opinion, the best game available for the pc.
It has great graphics, missions, and it's fun! You choose either the side of the Allies
or the Soviets. So, wondering how Red Alert happened in the first place? Why don't you read
the amazing story behind this game.
If you are interested, please scroll down to find news, info, maps, utilities, many useful downloads, cheats, etc ...

I have added the pages: Allied Units, Allied Structures, Allied Hierarchy tree, Soviet Units, Soviet Structures, Soviet Hierarchy tree. These pages contains detailed information about avaible units and structures in Red Alert. I think, better late than never!
Now I stating to work with the new site engine. Actually It's a massive task to do. But
when the work is completed many updates will come! (I mean new information, downloads, new forum and other stuff). The approx time to complete the work: 2-3 months.
Also, I want to thanks Vasilly for donating us $50! All donated money will be used only for RA-Archive needs.

Site cleanup
[ Posted by RaZor ::: Wednesday, 15-May-2013 ] |
|
I did some site cleanup today:
* Removed RA demo page as the Demo version of RA is not actual anymore. Also removed Westwood Chat article for the same reason. Actually these pages has not been physically deleted, I just removed them from the main menu. They are still accessible with old urls.
* Removed Red Alert 2 information from the RA Vesions page. Since RA-Archive is related to only original version of game.
* Edited Credits and Staff information.

Hello RA fans!
[ Posted by RaZor ::: Monday, 13-May-2013 ] |
As you all know, the RA-Archive has not been updated for a long time. I didn't have much free time to work with the site. I just tried to keep it online by supporting the server that hosts RA-Archive. Sometimes I wanted to shut down the RA-Archive permanently. But I see that the site is still visited by many people. Well today, I decided to not shut it down. I think it would be better to give some new "life" to the site, as well as the good memories.
For the past 7 years a lot of information on the site is out of date. Community forum was dead. Many pages on site are still not completed. As far as I know, EA made the Red Alert freeware (would be better if they made RA open source). Team of enthusiasts also did their version of RA with open source. So I need to add this information to the site. But before updating the content I want to rewrite site engine. Because the old engine that I wrote 10 years ago is very difficult to update and mantain - it looks like hell now. So my goal is to make the RA-Archive more interactive. I want make possible to visitors to register themselves adding information, files, news, etc... Site's layout will not change - I'm very bad in web design. Actually I think the current layout is not too bad as it supports old PCs with relic browsers (like IE4,NN4,etc). Well I can't promise anything. But I will try.
I also want to create a new community forum. But I don't know which forum package to choose. Many of the popular forum engines has security problems or consume a lot of resources. Now site is very limited with server's resources. So if you know good one in php/mysql that looks good and consume not too much CPU - please let me know. I also created a new poll about this.
By the way, my email address on yahoo.com was broken or hacked and is not valid very long time (damn yahoo!). So if you have sent any mail to that address, I will never able to read it. Please send any questions, feedback, bug reports, suggestions to new address: raa@nv17.com. Also if you want to help RA-Archive and want to update or post some text information to site, pease send a complete article in html or plain text. I'll upload them as soon as possible.
P.S. 2013.04.23 RA-Archive celebrates it's 13th anniversary!

[ Posted by RaZor ::: Monday, 12-Jan-2004 ] |
