More than 23 years after Command & Conquer: Generals first arrived on PC, fans are still finding ways to improve it. You might have seen that last year, EA made the surprising decision to release the original source code for several classic Command & Conquer games, like Generals and Zero Hour. Since then, a community of developers known as The Super Hackers has been working on GeneralsGameCode, fixing bugs that have been around for decades, modernising the engine, improving compatibility and laying the groundwork for features that simply weren't doable before that.
I've written just a little about the project, the work they're doing, and why I think efforts like this are such an important part of video game preservation. It's definitely not a remaster, and that's what makes it so interesting. It's a community making sure a game they love can keep going for another twenty years!
