Hello, fellow 40-45(?) year old.

I feel like anyone preferring Warcraft III is in their 30s. Grew up with the Warcraft II Battle Chest and it was a vibe.

I recently replayed Warcraft II and fell out of my chair when I realized the original did not have control groups. Those were only added with the Battle.Net edition!

42 here, played a ton of Warcraft II, but my favorite to return to now is definitely Warcraft III (or AoE II).

33 here, started with Dark Saga in my old PS1, after few months of my first gameplay got a used computer and played A LOT of warcraft 1 and 2.

PS: I still own the same PS1, tho the reader might not working 100%.

I mean, I’m 37 and my first ever RTS was Warcraft: Orcs and humans. Never liked the hero focus of w3

38, I played 2, but it was pretty bad compared to Warcraft III. Three still holds up just as well as it did back then.

Speaking as a 44-year-old, this tracks.
