Trivia
At a convention in November 2011, a fan of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (1999) greeted Michael Biehn by addressing him as "Michael McNeil, GDI, Tiberian Sun". Biehn was puzzled by the allusion, having no memory of that role until the fan described Tiberian Sun in greater detail, at which point Biehn, just beginning to remember that role, admitted that the 1990s were a big blur in his memory.

Goofs
Despite being a senior military officer (and in a future setting), Commander McNeil wears the insignia of a Specialist 5 on the left arm of his leather jacket, an enlisted (non-officer) rank that was abolished in 1985. Also, Chandra, a Lieutenant Commander according to the game manual, is wearing chevrons on his right sleeve that appear to be the rank insignia of a Senior Airman in the U.S. Air Force.

Quotes
CABAL: A division of Hassan's Elite Guard is closing in on our position. The probability of a favourable outcome can be increased, if we are able to fall back to your main base and engage the enemy as we move.
Slavik: Define "favourable outcome", Cabal.
CABAL: They all die.
Slavik: That'll do.

Alternate versions
To avoid problems with the German censors (namely the Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften, BPJS), the human soldiers were replaced with cyborgs.

Connections
Edited from Command & Conquer: The Covert Operations (1996)

A classic strategy game to remember in history

When I first played Command & Conquer I started off playing Red Alert 1 which was a good game, then I played the original C&C Tiberian Dawn. After three years of playing the game I was drifting away from C&C with boredom when Tiberian Sun was advertised on the TV! I've never seen a game advertised on the TV before. I was very excited, I read all the magazines that showed details about the game and then when it finally arrived I was pulled into the new Tiberian world.

Tiberian Sun, I don't how but it does, gives you sparks of wisdom, feelings of adrenaline and shock in how plummets into a nightmare while the human race fight for either the survival of the human race or the dawn of a new Tiberian world on Earth forever.

Tiberian Sun is a game to remember for it's amazing potential and outstanding acting, particularly from Joseph D Kucan who plays Kane in the videos as well as the talented James Earl Jones and Michael Biehn.

I will never forgive EA games for taking the game franchise and striping away it's glory and shine. But in my mind, the world of Command & Conquer still flows.
