Wow. I never believed I would see old C&C concepts I hadn't before.
Yeah, that thing is likely an early Harvester, but the main body frame was used for the Flame Tank instead! Very interesting, though it only shows how Westwood yet again recycled bits of their own early/crappy works Reminds me of certain TI-project... _________________

Eh, I said exactly what it was.
The original description (translated from German) says:
This original design for the Harvester was later "converted" to the Flame Tank
The text around it explained that it was done because the harvester was far too sci-fi looking for what they had in mind for the game. I don't see how that's 'crappy' though; it fits very well for the Flame Tank.

Here is part 1 of my collection.
I went to a thrift store today, and I picked up Red Alert & the TS Soundtrack for $1.50 total, because the soviet disc is missing from RA. Oh well, still worth it.
So, here are the Red Alert componants of what I have, plus C&C3, and what I scored at that store.

Here is the other games of my collection. C&C N64 is my first game, and Ive had it only a year or so longer than the Red Strike pack.
The Titan was something I made a little while before the LEGO C&C contest here, so it was an ineligible entry. You can view better images here on my brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=384093
Its technically stylized for my LEGO theme/universe I have going, so don't you dare say a Ztyping thing about the colors.
Those TS discs were lent to me from a friend when I started high school, and he disappeared before I could give it back to him. The yellow disc was a duplicate I made to lend to a friend of mine, when I started a TS gaming ring at my college. It only lasted a week, before we were all banned from online play for using the same CD key. This was before it was free.

well, I bought the French version of the C&C Combat Pack (meaning, French TS+FS, RA2+YR, and Renegade), the original English version of the RA1 soundtrack CD (which, unlike the German version, contains "Surf No Mercy" as bonus track at the end), and...
the big box of C&C95+Covert Ops
Since my camera is broken, this is once again just the ebay picture. And yes, he threw in RA1. Already had that... twice (no, not due to 'mad collecting', I bought it again in the store after one of the original CDs got badly scratched), but whatever, he seemed to want to get rid of it
This is in fact the version in which I bought C&C95 in the first place, but in plastic CD sleeves and without manual. Now I finally have the original box and manual of that edition
(yeah, yeah, and the CDs twice. Whatever )
[edit]
Well, it's blurred to hell, but here you see it on top of my closet, standing next to the fabled C&C3 Cube
(As I said before, can't help the blur stuff, my camera's somewhat broken)
A bigger one some was only released at Germany I think.
Is like the Nyerguds C&C 1 big big box only yellow and TS logos. icons and so on. More rare than any big big boxes _________________ Can you hide from me ? QUICK_EDIT

I got a FLAC of the shorter C&C version, from my Sega Saturn C&C, and an MP3 found of the original I found on the net, but that's it. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
Heres my lil collection, not quite as big as some but its decent
Unfortuently by the time I got a PC, Tiberian Sun was in the classics box for EA, so I missed alot of the special editions of the older games (not to say I haven't made up for it, I got C&C Retaliation before I got a PC as I had a PS1).
Please note my copy of renegade is hiding and thus missing, also note that the RA2 & TS discs are missing covers as they came in paper sleves in the cardboard box (which is packed away), and a my 2nd copy of YR lost its case yrs ago lol, it really got used. And my First Decade box got damaged by my dog when he was a pup, apparently he didn't like EA's box art design
