Warcraft: Orcs & Humans (1994)
Genres:Strategy
Themes:Fantasy

Story:Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is the first game in the Warcraft series developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The Orcish hordes are summoned through the dark portal to the peaceful human Kingdom of Azeroth. When the two races meet each other, a terrible war ensues. Only one race can dominate the land.
Players can choose to play as either the Humans or the Orcs. There are 12 scenarios for each race with mostly a single objective: destroy the enemy.
As with most RTS games of the same era, a lot of time is spent collecting resources and building structures to make/upgrade different types of units.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.30 536
Wow, the voting system to bring games to GOG (or back to GOG in this case I guess) really looks dashing. But before I digress I want to share why this game (and the second installment that I missed getting here in time) mean so much to me.
Warcraft 3 was my first Warcraft experience back in the day shortly after gaming was synonymous with console gaming to me and before I played a lot of PC games. You know, back when buying PC games on CDs was a thing.
Warcraft 1 and 2 are the hidden part to me whereas WoW just never clicked with me, guess mostly due to being a subscription. (I got my MMORPG experiences in, just not there)
I would love to play Warcraft 1 and 2 eventually and I'd love to be able to go back to those games whenever I feel like it and truth be told, I don't trust Blizzard at all keeping their legacy up in ways that respect my consumer rights. With GOG I have a little bit more of a trusted feeling knowing I can keep the installers on my terms, that there's no DRM and as long as GOG is around I guess there will be some efforts (and legal abilities) to patch any problems that get inbetween and old game and new computers and architectures.
I sadly missed getting W1 and 2 by mere days. I wouldn't call a bet on Blizzard bringing this back, but hope and dreams die last, so here I am.
If anything, Microsoft being the new owner of Blizzard (this really doesn't escape my lips lightly...) they could put their money (or commitment) where their mouth is when they claim they are about conserving video game history. I see their efforts on Xbox to make old games playable albeit I'd say it's also kinda due to them jumping architectures that they needed to invest so much effort into making old games play on newer consoles until they finally stuck with an architecture from One to Series S|X, but oh well...
Blizzard (and Activision and Microsoft) are a bunch of piss babies for removing this game off of GOG. That is a major insult to games as art. Put it back and let this game be preserved!
It is unfortunate that this game. A gem that was always available on a game on GoG, was pulled by Blizzard itself due to them wanting to re-release it in some kind of warchest, and based on Warcraft 3 reforged, they may somehow make it worse when their version of the game is release.
I have the game. I haven't played it much since I'm still bad at RTS's, but I know damn will it was wrong of them to remove a game they haven't thought about off of GoG to begin with.
Please do whatever you can to bring back what was rightfully GoG's and the gamers that want this edition to play.

Medieval: Total WarExperience the middle Ages in all their blood-soaked magnificence. From the lush grasslands of Western Europe to the arid deserts of Northern Africa, from the first Crusade to the fall of Constantinople, implement diplomacy, utilize trade, espionage and assassinations, spread your religion and wage total war in order to expand your influence and secure your reign as you build a dynastic empire to stretch across four centuries.
Total War is the follow on from 2000’s Shogun- Total War. As with Shogun the game is split into two sections – the turn-based campaign map wherein the player is required to make strategic decisions, recruit and move armies, besiege settlements, fight naval battles and employ agents such as emissaries, spies and assassins to aid with diplomacy, offer alliances or bribes, or execute rather more clandestine actions.
Religion is important in the game and whether a faction is Muslim, Orthodox or Christian will affect allegiances and public loyalty – as a catholic nation the player must carry out the wishes of the Papal States, embarking on a holy war if need be or else run the risk of excommunication. If public order and loyalty should fall too low in a particular region a rebellion or a civil war may occur – in these situations the player may decide to side with the rebels or the current rulers to quell the rebellion or overthrow a tyrannous regime-Fantasy Historical Warfare 4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate)
