I remember that one. I played about 6 or 7 levels... The cinematics were hilarious.

I dont remember exactly which was the first RTS that I played. But it sure was either C&C, Warcraft 2 or Dune 2...

Z.. yes.. "your gonna loose"... "for Christ's sake DO SOMETHING!" .. yes I remember it well.Alkpaz

Yeah, I loved my favorite tactic. In the first levels I would mount a great army of Rocket Launcher units and send them all to the enemy fortress. 4th of july!!

But I ended that game once. GOD IT WAS HARD! when I destroyed the Blue Fortress in the last level I screamed (3 a.m.) DIE MOT********, DIE!

  Herzog Zwei was the first one I played on the Genesis, it was an action RTS and it was very good.  First pc RTS I played was Warcraft:Orcs & Humans.apanizo

I bled Herzog Zwei for about 2 years when it came out.  Awesome game.  As is Z.

My first RTS game was Warcraft 3. The sad thing was that I just got it last week.

Dune 2 was my first, followed by Warcraft 2 and Red Alert.

Good times

Oh ya, Z is one of the three games that made me fall in love with the RTS genre.

The other two were Dune 2 and Command and Conquer.

Z introduced me to RTS, while Red Alert 2 and Emperor:battle for dune made me love the genre.

What happened to westwood? Is it true it is now a part of EA?

My first few RTS were

Dune

Powermonger

Populous

All of them classic PC games. Dune is also the first game where the PC cheated like a maniac, as it kept spawning troops and didn't build them, although the fact they got the AI to actually challenge a human player in those days was still an achievement.

Interestingly, the AI didn't really cheat in Populous or Powermonger, as it tended to just use the resources it had.

I believe Dune was also my first RTS. Personally I despise the genre..... Not because of the games, but because I suck at them :) I suppose I just don't have a very strategic mind.... SuperBeast

EA bought Westwood... and I think that they closed it... some Westwood guys are working directly for EA now...

Ya, Westwood was by itself, then EA obtained them.  Then EA got rid of the Westwood name (biiiiiig mistake) and let EA LA get the C&C franchise name.

Last I heard, the Westwood founders and developers split up...one or two of 'em worked on Supreme Commander and then another one is working on this other game (forgot what its called, about earth defeating an alien invasion...Gamespot just did a preview of it).
