I think it was Starcraft, Warcraft 2 or maybe Dune2(000?), my memories are so fuzzy from when I was young. I tried all three games pretty early back in the days but I wasn't interessted in gaming, also my parents never liked me spending time playing on the computer. First in 2006 did I really get my eyes open for BW and eSports, been hooked since then.

Starcraft first, then I played SO MANY games. Almost all the WestWood games (red alert, tiberiun sun, etc.) Dune, Age of Empires, some Total Annihilation. Later played some Age of Mythology.

AoE in singleplayer, AoE2 online (i still play it) ,at the beginning I remember playing with 2 friends in black forest, and getting into the battle only after 40 minutes or something lol , really fun, but the real competition was on zone, and now in voobly.com, the incredible thing is that even this year the strategic part is evolving yet.

Pretty sure it was wc2. Although, it was primarily campaign and single player custom mode. SC is the first one I played vs people. A couple older ones like TA, C&C AoE etc I tried very briefly.

Warcraft 2. The first one I played online was AoE though. I remember the moment I learned how to play RTS properly: I was running in to attack with a few dudes and just got raped. I was wondering how he had so many chariot archers and then I saw his base. I was like "holy fuck, you can get more than one archery range?!?!" Then my world changed forever.

The Age of Empires franchise still holds a special place in my heart. I play AoE 2 from time to time still. It is probably the second best game ever made.

EDIT: Hey, homie below me: Wololo is AoE 1.

Warcraft 2.
Age of Empires 2 (Wololo anyone?).
Than probably Starcraft came after.

Dune 2

Ordos > Harkonnen because you can gas their Devastators and order them to self-destruct, har har har :D

Hell yes Dune 2. I found the epic bug with Ordos where if you used the Deviator and controlled a unit and kept the attack command pressed after it turned back, you could make a Harkonnen tank just attack its own palace forever.

Warcraft 2!

[image loading]

I was at my cousins house and we played the demo off a floppy disk. Even though I was 5 years younger than him, I still grasped it much faster. I remember asking if I got oil by killing the seals on the snowy beaches. He didn't know.

Couple weeks later I found a demo of warcraft 1 on some game disk that came with a copy of a Mac magazine. Played it over and over and over. Didn't realize it was a different game. I must have been 7 or 8 at the time.

I remember watching the Dune 2 demo at Radio Shack, but decided to buy XWING instead.

The first real RTS I played was War2: ToD.

Friends.pud all day long
