Warcraft II
I finally got my Warcraft II software in the mail the other day, although I have a feeling I didn’t need to buy an extra copy to play over the LAN. Warcraft II is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played. Blizzard has been great in supporting not only the PC platform but also the Mac platform. Actually not that I think about it, there might have even been a Warcraft game for the Playstation 1!!
Anyways, after mucking around and trying to get a game going over the LAN with IPX I gave up and played World of Warcraft instead, but this morning I installed Classic support on my girlfriends PowerBook and we gave it a go using TCP/IP which I am much more familar with. It worked like a gem and we were playing a game in within minutes!
Now, I haven’t played this game since 9th-10th grade with my good buddy Greg so I was a little rusty. I did take some screenshots but they didn’t capture my entire army, so I was a little dissappointed. I think I had about 150 war-units and about 30 peons. Some how Emilie had about 15 griffins and 10-20 footmen when I finally attacked her base camp, but we both had a great time. This is a new video game to her, and she told me afterwards that she liked it, minus the fact that it took me 15 seconds to wipe out everything she had built in the past 30 minutes haha
I did try to play on Battle.net (surprised anyone is still on there) and it was really really laggy so I am not sure what was up with that! Before we tried using IPX we did try on Battle.net and it wouldn’t let her join any games I had created. It said something about the game creator have to high of latency so joining the game couldn’t happen. Kinda stupid since she was sitting 2ft from me…
Our next game is going to be my girlfriend and I teamed up against a computer, so that will be a lot of fun!
One last note before I end this post, I think Blizzard should release a patch that adds all the races from World of Warcraft to Warcraft II. That would be so slick!
** I’ve just got to remember to upload the 2 screenshots I took while in-game this morning **
