The full source code for all four games is now available on the EA GitHub page.

But game preservation is also about more than just making sure everyday gamers can keep playing old classics.

It’s also about saving the history of how these games came to be.

Here’s hoping more publishers follow that lead.

Command & Conquer remains a mainstay among thebest RTS games.
