Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness

The once mighty army of Azeroth lay among the blackened charred remains of Stormwind Keep. Those that escaped fled across the great sea, bringing tales of the suffering they had faced at the hands of the Orcish Hordes. Eager to engage in battle once again, the Orcs constructed ships of war to bear them across the great sea. The Orcish warriors yearned for the sounds of battle to fill the air and looked to the far horizon for new blood to spill. Using the weapons forged by their new allies, the humans made haste to prepare for the onslaught. While cannons were being loaded, others armed themselves with Elven steel and nail. Now united in arms with new allies against the common foe, mankind stands at the shores of destiny and awaits the coming of the Tides of Darkness.

Combining the best aspects of many strategy favorites - Dune II, Populous and SimCity - Warcraft II manages to create a truly unique experience that considerably improves upon its predecessor. A plethora of options and features have been added to the real-time war game engine of the original, making every aspect of the game, from combat to resource management, much more enthralling. Flying vessels and seafaring crafts have been added, improving upon the landlocked combat of Warcraft. There are new technologies to research, new structures to build, and new races to align with. Resource management has been expanded, and now includes oil, in addition to gold and lumber, as a necessary ingredient for successful construction and destruction.

Important: The (above) game's already patched. If installed to a hard drive, it doesn't need the CD mounted to run. When starting a new game, the game will complain about not finding the CD. Press OK and you'll be able to play. The patched version doesn't include movies, and they're not on the CD neither. This version can't host net games.

Below is a bin-cue image compressed with OS X zip. Burn with Toast (for example) to make a hybrid Mac/PC CD that includes the audio tracks.

The second download at the top-right is an updater.
