Used to play it on my Pentium 166 with like 32mb ram and !!awe64 soundcard!!. This soundcard had special midi synth support which made those mids like 400% more awesome. The complete experience - GFX + music + gameplay was mindblowing. Similiar game experience goes from Heroes2 with all the fairy tale drawn graphics, great gameplay and again ingenious midi music with awe synth made it an out of body experience. Sadly, since then I've found no sound card that reaches the midi synch experience of AWE cards and ISA slots are like ancient history. Someone who had experienced this knows what I'm talking about. | ||

Another game; this guys APM seems a lot higher and 1v1 dynamics are interesting with these early grunt walls, farming one of his flanks for vision, and KHB dividing his army early was cute. | ||

It looks like he targets the tank that is closest and makes no attempt at figuring out which tank is actually going to stop moving for a moment. Q was never perfect, like many tanks stop moving for moments here and there. Attacking a tank that has a good chance of stopping for a moment, but is out of range of some of your back tanks, was almost always better than attacking an in-range tank that is definitely going to be moving for the next few seconds. | ||

Yeah they aren't the greatest of players, but I'm sure they'd kick my ass if I picked it up again :p Boy, do I remember those days. Started playing when I was 8. Must have played 20,000 games lol. Q was exhausting.....coupled in with tanks building in .001 seconds, and no rally points.., Turrets building in .1 second and needing manual repairing...I remember three hour long games where at the end I was worn out like you wouldn't believe. As for prizes? Bragging Rights...This was back in the late 90's..All of the best players just congregated together mostly around Global Dominance, which was the most fun Gaming League ever. You either chose Allied or Soviet, and they had a Military Style system where the more points you won, the higher up the echelon you went. Every win gave your side x points to spend on infantry on the Global Map, and after the MOTW the Generals would make out their battle plans and the fight would be carried out with huge back stories, etc. Whenever one side won most of the world map, a new season would start over. They had medals for like 20 different statistics, and it was very in-depth. Very awesome to play. It was all voluntary, as you had to yourself go in (as the loser) and report the loss..Man, the days of honor...That would never fly today. What's your thoughts on Q micro vs SC micro? If you had to compare difficulty, APM requirements, and skill. | ||

To avoid confusion, this isn't analogy of ppl's thoughts between SC1 and SC2; this video was made before SC2. I really enjoyed Wc2. It was quite fun, I do not miss the old mechanics, it was just bad. Will we be thinking about SC this way in the future? Guess we will find that out in 15 years time. | ||

Great to see some love for Dark Colony in this thread... I just loved how the aliens had machine guns. Dune 2 was the first RTS I ever got into and I just loved it. I also used to play the Warhammer table top games and I remember thinking how awesome it would be if they came out with a strategy game like Dune 2 but with Orcs, then soon after a friend gave me a pirated floppy disk of Warcraft 1. I remember I was so keen to play I spent an entire afternoon guessing the secret word from the manual they made you type in in order to launch the installer (back in the days when DRM was fun). When Warcraft 2 came out, me and one of my friends would play it directly over the modem, we used to have to sneak in games at 4am because his dad wouldn't let him use the computer. Eventually I ended up getting a thing called the internet and discovering Kali, a multiplayer client which emulated a LAN network over the net, at the time it was the single most awesome thing ever created. Good times, good times. | ||

KKND, Age of Empires I and II were fun as hell. Dune 2000 kicked so much ass. Warcraft II was fun, but the imba bloodlust sucks the fun out of it, even though invisibility has no counter humans get raped before they get to tier 3. And there are a hell of a lot more fun RTSes out there than WCII | ||

Some of you may remember that Starcraft was originally based off of the Warcraft 2 engine, and was pretty close to completion. It was only after the backlash from the community - i.e. Blizzard has just gone and made "orcs in space" without any substance - that Blizzard completely redesigned the game to what we have now. there's some screenshots of what it looked like here: http://sclegacy.com/editorials/34-general/270-starcraft-evolution | ||

Did you have to REBUY the game/expansion to get on battle.net back in the day? | ||

One is Warcraft II : Tides of Darkness and the other is Warcraft II : Tides of Darkness Battle.net edition (iirc). I think the Battle.net edition includes "Beyond the dark portal" | ||

It's still one of the classic RTS games out there, but once you've played brood war all the others tend to become stale (aside from wc3 tft). | ||

And getting from Grunts to Ogres without getting killed or getting them later than your opponent is quite the challenge. Building placement matters a lot! they can help create chokes or concaves (buildings have relatively high hp, and not many units can attack them at the same time) game is not dead at all | ||
