Table of Contents Once more, with a slightly bigger group of Orcs Re-reforged in fire I played Warcraft II for the first time at a friend’s house, on LAN multiplayer.
I didn’t know what Warcraft was; I didn’t even have much experience with the best real-time strategy games. I’d grow to love games like Age of Empires II and Starcraft, but at that point, I didn’t know what I was doing.
I chose Orcs because they looked cool, had dragons (dragons were also cool), and probably lost all the games we played. I didn’t think about it again, until years later, my World of Warcraft-obsessed friends, convinced me to play that.
I picked a mage because the one in the opening cinematic fighting an Infernal was, again, cool, and the rest is history. I came to love Warcraft III after the fact because those same friends wouldn’t shut up about it.
I bought a Battle Chest and everything. I still have it. And when I went back to Warcraft and Warcraft II out of curiosity, several years later, I remembered that I had seen all of this before.
