Guessed by The_Liquid_Laser
The highest newcomer on the list, is an old game. Even in it's series, this is not the most recent one. I was contemplating on whether or not I should include sequel 'Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos' on the list, but I chose 'Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness' instead. I'm not sure why, the third game was also pretty great, it's one of the few strategy games I completed the campaign for and it probably has the most gorgeous cutscenes relative to its time, but the second game just tickles my imagination. And I also watched the intro cutscene with the ships like a million times.
So way back when I was actively playing this, there was this awesome book about the game you could buy. It had the title; "Strategy Guide". What that is? I didn't know, but it had a lot of pictures of all the units, all the buildings, and maps of all the single-player levels. There was even artwork in there of cool looking elves and orcs and dwarves. I loved the maps, they were huge screenshots of an entire level, and they showed everything. I could stare at them for hours, even if the print was only black and white. I'd just imagine the colours.
