One of my favorite games of all time. (From my Collection)

The DOS version of Warcraft II did not need a key to install. In my opinion one of the best games.

I spent many hours with groups of friends. Bringing in our Desktop Computers, with big CRTs. Setting them up on a table, then use coax and T connectors (and terminators) for network. Great times we had then.

My dorm in college didn’t have networking yet my freshman year, so we ran cable down the hallways so we could LAN party Warcraft.

You can pop that in your CD player and hear the soundtrack without having to install the game.

I remember i had ToD in spanish, and the voices were very unfunny and sounded boring. Then I went on a trip to UK and bout the expansion there, not even thinking about the language as I expected it to be multilanguage. I was wrong.
Installing it made the entire game and expansion be in english, and the english voices and everything made it a whole new game, way funnier and enjoyable. Ever since, I always play games in their original language, which is english usually.
I miss full games in boxes, man.

Oh yeah, especially with a special mod editor I had at that time. With the editor I was able to change the units, making new maps, modifying the units with other powers and so on.

I tried to play it recently and found my 2001 era machine was too fast for it! The panning across the map speed apparently was CPU limited so it would just zip from one side to the other making it impossible for me to control!

I played this game so much back in the day.

This game will always remind me of a guy we used to run with. We showed up at his house at like 2AM trying to scare him but he was awake drinking Wild Turkey and playing this game. He had been for hours and had naked pictures of his ex-girlfriend lying around his desk. We just said, "hey man, we were just bored on our way to somewhere else, catch you later"
