The real-time strategy game that defined 1996, rebuilt to run in a browser tab. It isn’t a remake or a copy. It’s the original game code, compiled to WebAssembly, so it plays exactly the way it did on a Pentium.

Click and play. About 60 MB loads first and you’re in. Music and the full-motion movie briefings download in the background while you play, and switch on as soon as they arrive.

Everything included. Both campaigns (Allied and Soviet, with their full-motion movies), plus all 34 missions from the Counterstrike and Aftermath expansions, with the Aftermath units and the expansion soundtracks.

Online with friends. Press Play online with friends to get a room link, send it on WhatsApp, and fight head to head in the game’s own Network mode, up to 8 players.

Full screen, sharp. The game fills your screen at its real pixel count and keeps the original picture shape. Use the corner button for full screen.

Best on a computer with a mouse. Press Esc to skip a movie.
