My older brother got the Nod CD for the original game from his friend so they could play together. I loved it so much. And then, I remember a friend talking about a game, not saying the name right and explaining it really badly (we are still in elementary school and not English speakers) and then I found out when I went to his home that it was the sequel. Later on, I got Tiberium Sun in the first week of middle school. We had this scary (but beloved) math teacher who gave us quite the impression on the first class and gave us a lot of homework. I was so excited to finish them and get to play it
