"Capture the pathetic capitalist shrine in New York called The World Trade Center" - Red Alert 2

9/11 happened a year after this game was released. This mission was originally intended for the player to destroy the world trade center with cash rewards, but this was quickly changed after the attacks had happened with later patches. The release of Yuri's Revenge was originally meant to be cancelled in September 2001 due to the fact that its cover featured a city being destroyed in the background, leading the developers to the conclusion that it resembles the real-life 9/11 event. The game was finally released, with some versions sporting the original cover art and others that had it altered. Furthermore, re-releases of the vanilla Red Alert 2 released after 2001 also had altered covers.

This isn't the first time the Red Alert series has made badly aged references to 9/11 either.

I figured some people would find this interesting and may not have known about it before. I still am a huge fan of these games and brings back memories.

Some info was taken from CnCWiki directly on this subject.
