Warcraft 1

Le jeu

Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, released for DOS in 1994 by Blizzard Entertainment, was the game that kicked off the legendary Warcraft franchise and helped shape the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. Set in the fantasy world of Azeroth, it told the story of a brutal conflict between the human kingdom of Azeroth and the invading orcish Horde. Players could choose either side, with campaigns featuring unique missions, storylines, and endings. Gameplay revolved around gathering resources like gold and lumber, constructing bases, training units, and commanding armies in real time—concepts that would become staples of the RTS genre. While the controls were more limited compared to later games, Warcraft stood out for its multiplayer support via modem or LAN, allowing head-to-head battles that were groundbreaking at the time. With its mix of strategy, lore, and competitive play, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans laid the foundation for future classics like Warcraft II, Warcraft III, and eventually World of Warcraft. DOS
