OpenRA is an open source real-time strategy game engine that was built to support running the early Westwood classics such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Dune 2000.

These are supported in OpenRA as mods using the OpenRA SDK.

Since the OpenRA project started, several of the original games have also had their source released on GitHub by Electronic Arts, including Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection which includes both Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert as part of it.
