Nothing will ever beat the C&c 1 DOS installer. Incidentally, that was my very first own pc game ever and the start of my gaming career. For some reason I expected that all other games in the future would have similarly impressive, artsy install procedures. That unfortunately never happened.

Then again I was spoiled for having c&c1 be my first ever pc game.

I was so blown away by that installer. I was used to having to set up my soundcard for every game and often encountering problems with that. Hearing the frickin' installer talking to me without any setup was like magic.

I got into C&C via Red Alert 1, never actually got to play the OG C&C (Tiberian Sun was great though), the installer really is a work of art.
