	RA's storyline was a lot more "realistic" than RA2's, and considerably darker and more violent. Germany's Bureau of Censorship (BPjM) found the display of Hitler too hard for kids, and cut out the part of the intro showing Hitler. It cuts from Einstein in the chair disappearing directly to Einstein in the chair reappearing. Other cuts and changes included the recurring "It's not humans, it's cyborgs!" theme, meaning that Tanya was declared the only real human on the battlefield and everybody else was just tin cans (an example of this is the replacement of the death cries by weird metal-crush sounds).

Developed and released by Westwood Studios as a prequel to Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert was significant as an RTS due to it's highly enjoyable multiplayer mode and it's tense storyline. The soundtrack was yet again composed by Frank Klepacki.

			Red Alert can still be purchased from several online retailers, including Amazon, and is part of [[The First Decade]].

	Red Alert was significant as an RTS, especially due to it's highly enjoyable multiplayer mode, and it's tense storyline. The score was another quality work by Frank Klepacki, spawning many classics like Hell March, for example (which itself got a sequel, Hell March 2, on the Red Alert 2 soundtrack).

			==Add-Ons and Playstation Versions==
			Two add-on packs were developed for Red Alert, CounterStrike and Aftermath, which were later compiled into a single Play Station 1 game called Retaliation.

	RA's ~~storyline was~~ a ~~lot more "realistic" than RA2~~'s, ~~and considerably darker and more violent. Germany's Bureau~~ of ~~Censorship (BPjM~~) ~~found the display of Hitler too hard for kids~~, ~~and cut out the~~ part of the ~~intro showing Hitler~~. ~~It cuts from Einstein~~ in ~~the chair disappearing directly~~ to ~~Einstein in the chair reappearing~~. ~~Other cuts~~ and ~~changes included the recurring "It~~'~~s not humans, it~~'~~s cyborgs!" theme, meaning that Tanya was declared the only real human~~ on ~~the battlefield and everybody else was just tin cans (an example of~~ this is the ~~replacement~~ of the ~~death cries by weird metal-crush sounds~~).		The Play Station 1 version included FMV (full motion video) briefings which were not present in
			the PC variants and the allied briefing officer would become General Carville in RA2.
