Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness

DOSGames.com Review:  Rating: 5
Blizzard's follow-up sequel to their successful Warcraft: Orcs & Humans RTS game was immensely successful, and people still continue to play it today. Warcraft II continues the same style as its predecessor, but adds numerous features and innovations which make it a superior game to the original. Again you choose to play as either the humans or the orcs, and battle against the other. You can play against a human opponent over a local network or the Internet, or you can play against the computer. The graphics are detailed and well drawn, and the sound effects and music are classic ("Zug zug!"). This shareware version (I would've called it a demo but it clearly says shareware on the title screen) includes six unique maps not found in the full game, as well as one demo multiplayer map. Truly a modern classic game and definitely worth trying for RTS fans.
