Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness is 20 years old today

Before it was a whole world, Warcraft was a pioneer in the real-time strategy space.

The first Warcraft, along with other hits like Dune II and Command & Conquer, birthed the RTS genre, but Blizzard’s Warcraft II: The Tides of Darkness was the most popular game of its kind, selling over 2 million copies, when it came out back in December 9, 1995.
