Just saw Warcraft on GOG, seriously at this rate the whole Blizzard catalogue will be available on GOG. Too bad they'll never release the Diablo 1 expansion, though. Blizzard hated it and considered it a breach of trust from Sierra, mostly due to the inclusion of a barbarian class which breaks canon and which Blizzard specifically forbid to be included.

Who else here played WarCraft 1 before?

I played Warcraft 1 WAY back.  Back when it was the only Warcraft game in existence.  It was good at the time, but when Warcraft 2 came out, it was SO much better and there are some game mechanics and a lack of quality of life features that make this game much harder to play today.

I agree, with one exception: The dungeon-crawling missions in WC1 were awesome imo.

The worst part of it is that you can only select 4 units at once, making offensives a bloody Klickfest. For the rest, it was pretty okay, although not overly balanced (most units have same stats but different graphics for each side, safe for healing being replaced by necromancy, and the Humans have Water elementals instead of Demons. Demons are strong, but lack the Elementals ranged attack, making the final human mission a breeze once you have someone who can summon them, and healing generally beats reviving skeletons (even more so since the latter have a time limit).
