Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn and Command & Conquer Red Alert were both on the original Playstation. I played the fuck out of them because they were, and still are, fantastic games. I didn't have a PC back then, and wouldn't have one until the year 2000. I had never played an RTS before, and was amazed by how great the gameplay was. That there were kickass FMV videos to tell the story was the cherry on top.
That said, these versions of the games were definitely inferior to their original PC releases. The resolution is super small, so you only see very little of the map at any given time. You had to play with the dualshock instead of a mouse. I am also pretty sure the player didn't have access to the repertoire of commands they could give to their units, such as guard and attack move. I might be wrong on that, but the low resolution and lack of mouse alone make these versions unrecommendable in the year 2019.
But back then? Shiiiiiiiiiit.
Also, I have to ask: did these versions have easier difficulty? It would feel appropriate considering the compromises.
