- Hi, I'm running Mac Os X High Sierra and had the same issue with the mouse pointer being 2 inches away. This was solved by pressing Cmd + Q and then the game window closes and Mac Os tells me I can only close the game from inside the app. I then click back on the RA3 app and when I return to the screen, the mouse is lined up correctly.

In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 hopeless leaders of a doomed Soviet Union travel back in time so that they can change history. A new alternate timeline appears where the Soviets now find themselves as the leading superpower but also discover something else has gone terribly wrong. World War III is raging, the Japanese Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the east challenging the Soviet bid for world domination. A three-way war now emerges between the Soviet Union, the Allies, and a new Empire of the Rising Sun faction.
The game follows the tradition of the Command & Conquer series where the player must build up bases and produce a massive attack force to destroy all enemies. The player may choose any one of the three factions, each with a different array of infantry, armored vehicles, aircraft, ships to fight with, as well as buildings with new technologies, upgrades, and the all-powerful superweapons. Players do all their building from a sidebar, this allows them to create production queues and deploy structures fast and easily. (Mobygames)
Downloads 1 - 6 are the parts of a zipped archive of the game DVD (version 1.06). To reassemble the complete disc image, place all the parts in one folder, then drag the 0.001 file to The Unarchiver. This will join all the parts and unzip the archive. Other methods exist. but this one is as good as any. Burning the disc image will not produce an exact copy of the DVD because an original DVD has SecuROM copy protection.
Download 7 contains a noDVD/noSN patch for version 1.06. Run the patch to unlock the game for playing. When you load the game it will ask more than once if you want to update it. DO NOT update the game. If you do, then you will be unable to play it.
Download 8 contains all the updates required to convert v. 1.06 to v. 1.12 (latest version). These will be required if we ever find a crack for v. 1.12 and when updates for this game are no longer available on the EA server.
There is a crack for the Windows version 1.12 so we might hope it will work here because EA have just put the Windows game inside a Cider wrapper to make the Mac version of the game. Alas, I cannot get the Windows crack to work for us.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert is a series of real-time strategyvideo games set within the Command & Conquer series.
The Red Alert series takes place in an alternate timeline, created when Albert Einstein travels back to the past and eliminates Adolf Hitler in an attempt to prevent World War II from taking place. This plan indirectly backfires and results in an unchecked Soviet invasion of Europe by Joseph Stalin in 1946. The Stalin-led invasion of Europe serves as the backdrop for the first Command & Conquer: Red Alert game. Two expansion packs for Red Alert were released: Counterstrike and The Aftermath. New units, missions, multiplayer maps and music tracks were included in these expansions.
The story of the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert game portrays the early in-universe history of the main Command & Conquer storyline, and leads directly to the Tiberium story arc of the Command & Conquer franchise.[1][2][3][4] However, with the addition of the title Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 at the hands of a new team of developers in September 2000, this connection was rendered unclear, with fans of the series becoming split as to whether or not the time travel excursions of the Red Alert series were forming a separate continuity altogether, or just another side adventure on the way to the Tiberian era.At the time of the release of the 10th anniversary compilation pack, known as Command & Conquer: The First Decade, this new and second Command & Conquer development team claimed in interviews on the pack's bonus DVD that the games existed as three separate universes -- Tiberium, Red Alert and Generals. However, with the release of the title of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars in 2007, at the hands of a third new development team from EA Los Angeles, Electronic Arts published a featured document pertaining to 'Tiberium Wars's storyline in which a direct reference to Kane's appearance in the 1950s of Command & Conquer: Red Alert is made.[4] On July 25 of the same year, a Command & Conquer: Renegade-themed modification for the game Crysis was officially announced by Electronic Arts, which is stated to directly link the first Red Alert game to Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.[5]
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is a stand-alone sequel to the original Red Alert game, which unlike its predecessor makes no references to the Tiberium story arc, and which came with its own expansion pack; Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge. In the storyline of Red Alert 2, the Soviet Union invades the United States, using mind control technology to capture US forces and deactivate America's nuclear arsenal. In Yuri's Revenge, Soviet Premier Romanov's advisor Yuri attempts to overtake the world by using his 'psychic dominator' technology. A second and last attempt to stop Yuri's plans sends the player back in time to the conflict occurring in Red Alert 2, but instead of fighting the Soviets/Allies, the player fights against Yuri.
Command & Conquer creator Westwood Studios also released a music disc with the music from the Red Alert series. This disc came bundled with some of the later release versions of the games.
Plot[edit]
Command And Conquer Red Alert 2 Mac Os X 10.7
The basis of the Red Alert series is that in 1946, at the Trinity site in New Mexico, Albert Einstein created a 'Chronosphere' time machine. Traveling back to Landsberg, Germany, he met a young Adolf Hitler just after the latter's release from Landsberg Prison in 1924 and shook hands with him to cause a reaction that eliminated Hitler's existence from time by disturbing the 'space-time continuum'. This prevented Nazi Germany from forming and averted World War II as we know it from taking place.
Without Nazi Germany to stand in the way of Joseph Stalin's ambitions of conquest, the USSR tries to form a Soviet Union stretching across the entire Eurasian landmass in 1946. The nations of Europe, including Germany, form the Allies as a Soviet invasion precipitates a different World War II (Red Alert) and eventually a Soviet invasion of the United States in 1972 (Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge). The Soviet Union is ultimately on the losing side.
In Red Alert 3, by 1986, the Soviet Union teeters on the brink of collapse. Seeing the Premier's office empty, Cherdenko reveals Dr. Zelinsky's Soviet time machine to General Krukov. To retroactively save their country, Cherdenko travels back to 1927 with Krukov and Zelinsky in tow to assassinate the man behind the Allies' technological superiority. As Albert Einstein comes off stage from giving a speech, Cherdenko shakes his hand with disintegrative results. The trio is then returned to 1986, where the Soviet Army has the Allied forces on the brink of defeat in Europe and Cherdenko is Premier of the USSR. Just as the gloating starts, an ultra-advanced and previously nonexistent Empire of the Rising Sun embarks on world domination. Without Einstein, calls to use the USSR's formidable nuclear weapon arsenal are met with blank stares, as the atom bomb has apparently never been developed in this new timeline. Thus while the Soviets and Allied battle amongst themselves the Empire of the Rising Sun enters the chaos and a three-way world war breaks out for total control of the globe.

Production history[edit]
Command & Conquer: Red Alert[edit]
Released in October, 1996, Command & Conquer: Red Alert was the second Command & Conquer game to be released by Westwood Studios. Instead of returning directly to the Tiberian universe, Westwood Studios decided to create a game centered around the concept of 'What would happen if World War II hadn't happened?' The resulting game of Command & Conquer: Red Alert became the prequel to the original Command & Conquer.[1]
Two expansion packs were released within a year, called Counterstrike and The Aftermath, these were also released for the PlayStation in a pack called Retaliation, with additional missions and cut scenes.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2[edit]
In this sequel to Red Alert, the Soviets launch an attack on the United States. With the aid of Yuri, Premier Romanov is able to avert the nuclear retaliation of the Americans and he is able to gain a foothold in the United States itself. Red Alert 2 features new and old units and technologies and feature a variety of countries within each faction (Allies/Soviets). Each country features his own unique unit/building/technology; the Americans have Paratroopers, the Koreans have Black Eagle fighter jets, the French have a Grand Cannon defensive structure, the Germans have a Tank Destroyer vehicle, the British can train Snipers; Russia has Tesla Tanks, Libya has suicide Demolition Trucks, Iraq has Desolator troops and Cuba has suicide Terrorists.An expansion to Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge, was released in which the powerful psychic Yuri tries to achieve world domination. Secretly during the war with the Americans, Yuri has been constructing his own army across the globe and he turns on the Soviets which result in the Allies and Soviets having to ally against Yuri. The game takes place in another alternate timeline, starting with the end of the war in Red Alert 2 having the Soviets lost, but Yuri taking over the world's minds using his Psychic Dominator. The Americans use Einstein's Time Machine to go back in time to the beginning of the war so they can try and stop Yuri before his plans of world domination are finished.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3[edit]
A third Red Alert was unofficially announced by Electronic Arts' then Command & Conquer lead Mark Skaggs in December 2004,[6] shortly after the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth. However, Mark Skaggs left Electronic Arts for reasons unspecified shortly thereafter, and there was no mention of a Red Alert 3 until over three years later. In February 2008, both American PC Gamer and Hungarian PC Guru revealed that they would feature Red Alert 3 as cover stories.[7][8] On February 14, EA announced that Red Alert 3 was in production and offered screenshots, interviews and beta testing details.[9]Red Alert 3 features three factions, the Allies, Soviets and the Empire of the Rising Sun. The game features old units from the previous Red Alert games such as Tanya, Kirov airships, and dolphins. Red Alert 3 was the first to feature a 3-D engine. Red Alert 3 takes place in another alternate time line that occurs just after the Soviets lost the war in Red Alert 2 - they go back in time and kill Albert Einstein, removing his influence with the Allies and thus removing the existence of nuclear weapons. In Asia, the Empire of the Rising Sun secretly builds a vast army with technologies and weaponry that forces the Allies and Soviets to occasionally form alliances.
