HIstory of RTS Games

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ways-to-waste-weeks-on-end dept.

Spuggy writes "Gamespot has got an excellent article (in Two Parts) depicting the history of Real Time Strategy Games (From Dune II to the forthcoming Warcraft III and Emperor: Battle for Dune). They cover nearly every RTS release and categorize them by generation. The article even has a mention of the old Sega game Herzog Zwei, which was the first game to incorporate RTS elements." It's all about WC2 for me. What a game.

    My fault for not posting it in the first place (hopefully they'll update it when they get a chance).

    It will clear up a lot of the posts I am seeing about "They missed xxx!!"
