Before Warcraft III and World of Warcraft was Warcraft II... I guess that makes sense.

:Good Idea:
·The graphics were teh bomb back in the day. The menu art is cool; the cut off hand for your cursor. It was a really graphically intense game.
·The strategy is amazing, even today. For only a few characters to choose from, there's the classic Land/Sea/Air strategy put forth for you to determine which will beat which.
·As in every Blizzard game, clicking a unit several times makes them say funny things. I don't know why, I just think that is a really cool feature.

:Bad Idea:
·Even though there's IPX, there's no real way to play LAN since IPX isn't really a standard today. Still, you can play Battle.net together if you have the Battle.net edition.
·Compared to games today, there's not enough units in the game, which will drive some people insane.
·Building your base according to economy compared to military. This is not Age of Empires!!

:Overall:
·Despite being an older game, this game still runs on Windows XP just fine without emulating DOS or anything. It's a terrific treasure and a must have for a fan of the Warcraft/Starcraft games. It's as classic as Doom.
