CnC1 first, RA1 and then SC!

I played the shit out of RA1 though. We were in grade 7 and a friend had a cracked copy so some of us would call each other at 2 am on a schoolnight just to play each other.

Oh yeah, now I remember why lol. We were on dial-up and didn't want to get disconnected with the phones constantly ringing during the day.

Age of Empires 2 was my first RTS game ever. It was a blast, and I still have it installed on my computer.

I learned about Starcraft about the time it came out, but I never got to play it because I didn't own a computer at the time and my friend's mom who owned it wouldn't let us play it for some reason.

So I went looking for any console RTS, and I got this one. Man...

Afterwards I got a pretty crappy PC and started playing the original Warcraft. Then Red Alert on Playstation, and even Warcraft 2. Eventually I got a computer that was capable of gaming and got Warcraft 3 and the SC Battle Chest on it.

But it all really started with C&C 64.

Either Age of Empires or Starcraft, both games are great though especially when playing the campaign the first time you could...brings back good memories.

Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness

Lol I didn't know SHIT then and I started attacking my own men because at first I thought the starting grunts in the campain in the 1st mission were warriors that needed to fight each other.

Metal Marines baby =p

That game was really fun when you didn't know how to play it. But once you figured out that all you had to do was buy energy plants with your starting cash and then metal marines, ignoring all defence and just raiding the enemy constantly every 3-5 game seconds picking off his missiles and bases 1 by 1 it was pretty easy =p

First console RTS was Command and Conquer 1. Then I got Warcraft 2 and Red Alert about the same time, liked them about equally at first but in the long run had a lot more fun with Warcraft 2 map editor and later on Kali. From Kali to b.net with Starcraft and never looked back =p

Warcraft 2 or Red Alert, not sure. Though, my favorite all time RTS series is AOE.

Starcraft was my first RTS. I think I've never tried another RTS for more than 3 months after that. Too much Starcraft. ><

Fucking nostalgia bomb, definitely one of the most fun games I've played.

Uhm, I don't really recall that good but these are the RTS games that I recall playing as a kid:
1. WarCraft 1
2. WarCraft 2
3. Command and Conquer: Red Alert 1
4. Dune 2000
5. StarCraft

arranged by probability.

Dune 2 followed by Warcraft 1.

There also was a risk like game which was older. It's an old Dos game and it wasn't realy an RTS game but it's predecessor nontheless. It was called Isle Wars:
