Story:Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is the first game in the Warcraft series developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The Orcish hordes are summoned through the dark portal to the peaceful human Kingdom of Azeroth. When the two races meet each other, a terrible war ensues. Only one race can dominate the land. Players can choose to play as either the Humans or the Orcs. There are 12 scenarios for each race with mostly a single objective: destroy the enemy. As with most RTS games of the same era, a lot of time is spent collecting resources and building structures to make/upgrade different types of units.Show more

Wow, the voting system to bring games to GOG (or back to GOG in this case I guess) really looks dashing. But before I digress I want to share why this game (and the second installment that I missed getting here in time) mean so much to me. Warcraft 3 was my first Warcraft experience back in the day shortly after gaming was synonymous with console gaming to me and before I played a lot of PC games. You know, back when buying PC games on CDs was a thing. Warcraft 1 and 2 are the hidden part to me whereas WoW just never clicked with me, guess mostly due to being a subscription. (I got my MMORPG experiences in, just not there) I would love to play Warcraft 1 and 2 eventually and I'd love to be able to go back to those games whenever I feel like it and truth be told, I don't trust Blizzard at all keeping their legacy up in ways that respect my consumer rights. With GOG I have a little bit more of a trusted feeling knowing I can keep the installers on my terms, that there's no DRM and as long as GOG is around I guess there will be some efforts (and legal abilities) to patch any problems that get inbetween and old game and new computers and architectures. I sadly missed getting W1 and 2 by mere days. I wouldn't call a bet on Blizzard bringing this back, but hope and dreams die last, so here I am. If anything, Microsoft being the new owner of Blizzard (this really doesn't escape my lips lightly...) they could put their money (or commitment) where their mouth is when they claim they are about conserving video game history. I see their efforts on Xbox to make old games playable albeit I'd say it's also kinda due to them jumping architectures that they needed to invest so much effort into making old games play on newer consoles until they finally stuck with an architecture from One to Series S|X, but oh well...
Blizzard (and Activision and Microsoft) are a bunch of piss babies for removing this game off of GOG. That is a major insult to games as art. Put it back and let this game be preserved!
It is unfortunate that this game. A gem that was always available on a game on GoG, was pulled by Blizzard itself due to them wanting to re-release it in some kind of warchest, and based on Warcraft 3 reforged, they may somehow make it worse when their version of the game is release. I have the game. I haven't played it much since I'm still bad at RTS's, but I know damn will it was wrong of them to remove a game they haven't thought about off of GoG to begin with. Please do whatever you can to bring back what was rightfully GoG's and the gamers that want this edition to play.
ta gra to mój początek z blizzardem w epoce 1994 grałem z wielkim zamiłowaniem . Blizzard odstawił żenadę życząc sobie by ta klasyka została z GOG usunięta , NIECH ODDADZĄ TE GRE NA GOG !!.
Ganz ein gutes Rollenspiel-game. Mit sehr vielen erweiterungsfortsetzungen Spiele wo die Geschichte weitergeht eine unentliche game spiel serie reihe finde ich einfach ein gutes PC- Spiel. 😌
This was removed because Blizzard doesn't want to share their playerbase with the DRM-FREE one. Sheesh! What a joke! No one I know is willing to use BattleNET and even if they did, whether it is for f@#K!ng Call of Duty or other Blizzard stuff, they just hate it. Also, the game is f@#K!ng old! why would you need to be ALWAYS ONLINE for an old game? That doesn't make any sense!
Those games also need your vote!
Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Be an evil, malevolent god and the natives will worship you with fear in their eyes. Play as a kind, benevolent god and they will worship you with love in their hearts. Your actions decide whether you create a heaven or hell for your worshipers. Then select a creature from the land to act as your representative in the world.
