WarCraft II

Game Info: Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness will take the continuing saga of Azeroth to the next level as the battle rages on over land, sea, and air. Using unique new weapons of war that include Dragons, Battleships, Elven Archers, Zepplins, Death Knights and Juggernauts, both Humans and Orcs will use combined-arms tactics in an effort to become the true rulers of Azeroth.

The "Fog of War" increases strategy by requiring players to utilize line-of-sight and scouting tactics. SVGA graphics, 6 players network support, a map four times as large as its predecessor and an Interactive Combat Engine - The ICE AI - combine to allow Warcraft II to raise the stakes of real-time strategy gaming to new heights.

With the death of the Orcish Warchief Blackhand, his underling Orgrim Doomhammer was quick to seize control over the most powerful of the Orcish forces on Azeroth. Others, however, vie for supremacy over the rest of the scattered Orc-tribes. Although each day finds other factions growing stronger within the chaotic Horde, it seems certain that all of the clans will follow Orgrim's plans to hunt down and destroy the renegade Azerothiens wherever they choose to run .

Sir Lothar, in charge of the scattered armies of Azeroth since the death of King Llane, has led his people across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron. By enlisting the armies of Lordaeron - as well as making new allies in the Elves and Dwarves - a mighty force known as the Alliance has been forged. Now, the last of the once great armies of Azeroth seek retribution for the loss of their homeland.

Features include 2 player Network, Modem and Direct Connect play and six New levels.
