My first RTS was Warcraft 2, damn I was young and I must have spent hours playing that game. Never seriously of course. Shortly after I saw my friend playing SC and I made the switch.

Anyone ever play War Wind? That was probably my first I think. Such a great game.

I played populous on Amiga. But I was only 8 years old, I couldn't really figure out the game. I preferred a lot to play shoot'em ups. Amiga had the best shootem ups at this period (Swiv + Battle squadron + R-type + Xenon II ).

Then I played Warcraft II and fell in love eventhough I never played online. I played SC campaigns when the game was released, and didn't play it again until 2004 when a lot of people in my block (student residence) played LANs. I joined them to play 3vs3 fastest maps and BGH. It was the first time I played RTS against human. Even if I eventually got raped every game, I loved it. We had no good wifi at this period, so we used to link the computers with long lan cables passing through the windows haha that was so good. Then I started to play on b.net. Got raped once again. And when I thought I was getting good, I started to play on iccup. Got raped once again. BW is a perpetual rape actually ^^

Dune 2
When your harvestor died, another one spawns. I was so awful at games that the only way I could win was moving my harvestor around and making the AI friendly fire all of their buildings

Then I played Warcraft
I won by typing pot of gold many times

Then I played Red Alert
I played that game legit. Needless to say, I never beat that game

Then, some time later, I played Starcraft. Had to type show me the money a whole bunch of times, and I massed arbiters because they were at the end of the tech tree and I thought they were the strongest units Protoss had.

Dune 2, Warcraft 1, CNC 1, RA1, warcraft 2. Those were my first "lot". I'm pretty sure i played Dune first, and warcraft 1 second.

have the best memories of warcraft 1, playing it with my dad when i was little. It was really scary, i remember a human mission when you start on one side of a river, and basically have to ggpwn up north on the map, to a bridge and back down the other side. Took me all night to finish because i was playing so passively lol...

Not much has changed!!

So no fek
