Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge (VERA20K)

Game: Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge → (Windows, 2001)

VERA20K: a community rewrite in Rust of gamemd.exe, the Yuri’s Revenge engine, which uses the original game’s files. It aims to keep the original’s gameplay, look, and atmosphere while adding bigger battles (up to 30 players and 20,000 units on 500×500 maps), familiar RTS features, and a built-in multiplayer client. Today skirmishes are playable on Windows, Linux, and macOS, with base building, harvesting, combat, and saving; campaigns launch but support is incomplete, and LAN and online multiplayer are available in source builds on macOS and Linux. According to the README, most of the code is written by AI coding agents, which study the original engine with Ghidra and check the result with comparison tools. The latest release, 0.2.1 (October 23, 2026), has an installer for 64-bit Windows, a .dmg for Apple silicon macOS, and a Linux AppImage. Licensed GPLv3. The repository includes data comparing against the original game’s behavior (the tools folder, about 760 MB).
