Some of the Soviet campaign videos were pretty cheesy in Red Alert, but yes, compared to Red Alert 2 and 3 it's really down to earth.
The German accent in allied FMVs is cheese overload. :D
And i miss HellKitty, he made me run TW2000 and i couldn't get past character creation either. It was the best part of the game. hehehe.
Also Jagged Alliance had enough of it's own cheese. No need to add more.
