+					OpenRA is an Open Source reimplementation of Command & Conquer: Red Alert.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+					We've tried to closely follow the spirit of the original game, while modernizing the interface
+					and making use of today's powerful graphics processors. Our emphasis is on the multiplayer experience,
+					but we might support a single-player campaign at some point, too.
+				</p>
+				<p>
+					OpenRA should run on any modern PC running Windows, OSX or Linux. Requires .NET Framework v3.5 SP1 or 
+					later; or an up-to-date version of Mono.
