Command & Conquer

Command & Conquer(sometimes written "Command and Conquer") is a large series of games created by the now-defunct Westwood Studios. Command & Conquer is one of the most critically acclaimed real-time strategy games, spawning several a few sequels, prequels, a handful of add-on packs, and various ports to 32-bit and 64-bit video game consoles. You play the part of either the Global Defense Inititive(GDI) or the Brotherhood of Nod(Nod) in your mission of taking control of the world through force. You build your bases and rally your forces, then promptly obliterate the opposing side as brutally as you can, leaving no survivors. It's basically a futuristic war game, in the most rudimentary definition. The most recent game(listed below) truly pales in comparison to the earlier titles due to the fact that EA Games habitually puts quantity over quality.

Covert Operations

The one and only add-on pack for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. "The Covert Operations" simply adds some very difficult missions into the wonderful game.
Those Covert Operations missions were really, really irritating. But fun!

Firestorm

The add-on pack for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. This add-on adds new units, new missions, and new features to the already great game of Tiberian Sun, such as the GDI Mobile EMP Cannon and the Nod Reaper.
Firestorm is a great addition to Tiberian Sun with its new units and new missions!

Aftermath

The second and final Command & Conquer: Red Alert add-on which adds powerful units like Chrono Tanks, Tesla Soldiers, M.A.D. Tanks, and other such marvels into the game, in addition to adding even more missions to this already wonderful game. Can be stack-installed with Counterstrike.
"So, Aftermath is the last Red Alert 1 add-on?"

Trogdor the Burninator

In Dungeons & Dragons lore, "Trogdor the Burninator" was thirty year-old Half-Elf, chaotic-neutral Cleric of Taiaii with an affinity for fire. Trogdor was also a very stupid man, deciding that obliterating a tavern with fire would be a good way to interogate a bartender who knew more than he let on. The half-elf was then challenge by a monk and killed the holy man, but only barely. Afterwards, he urinated on the monk's body, then chased after an Elven archer that was in his party. The Elven archer noticed Trogdor forgot to put away his "piece" and promptly shot an arrow into his unguarded crotch, scoring a maximum-damage critical hit which promptly killed the Burninator.

More information can be found at the RPG Mortuary.
Trogdor, a chaotic neutral cleric of the goddess credited with creating the world, was very anxious to prove his worth to the party that he had just joined.
