Command & Conquer Red Alert es un videojuego de estrategia en tiempo real de la serie Command & Conquer creado por Westwood Studios en 1996. Los eventos de Red Alert tienen lugar en una realidad alternativa en la cual las fuerzas aliadas se enfrentan a las fuerzas de la Unión Soviética en una encarnizada contienda militar por el control del continente europeo. Inicialmente sólo estaba en versión para PC (MS-DOS y Windows 95), y subsiguientemente para PlayStation.Red Alert fue elogiado por el uso de la interfaz, por lo cual estaba mucho más desarrollado que otros juegos del mismo tipo los jugadores deben construir bases en las que se producen unidades armadas para defenderse del ejército enemigo y eliminarlo para obtener la victoria en un escenario.
