Original Platform: DOS - Alias: Warcraft 2
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness is the sequel to the first real time strategy game created by Blizzard, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.
Jul 16, 2016 the original copy of warcraft 2 (tides of darkness and beyond the dark portal) run only on DOS based machines such as win 95 and win 98. The updated warcraft 2 battle.net edition only runs when you have the cd in the cd-drive as DRM. This was never patched out. In order for war2 to be available here on bnet as a digital download, they have to remove that cd-rom check, which probably isnt gonna.

Game Review
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness is the sequel to the first real time strategy game created by Blizzard, Warcraft: Orcs & Humans. This second chapter of the fantasy RTS was developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment and it was released for DOS in 1995 and for Macintosh in 1996.
Warcraft II was a major upgrade compared to the first game. Many changes were introduced including new buildings and units, sea and air combat, multiplayer-support with up to eight players. The graphics was also improved with a new hi-res SVGA resolution of 640x480 pixels.
The game was a commercial and critical success, and sold over 2 million copies, making Blizzard one of the top studios in the videogame world.
