Warcraft 3 on Bnet is sadly not the original game nor the expansion Frozen Throne any longer. It would be great to see this game preserved here on GOG. I vividly remember really enjoying the Night Elf campaign back in the day and I hope to relive those memories once again.ghuyr

We all know about the lovely tale of the Reforged version, right? I think the original (with the Frozen Throne expansion of course) should be on GoG, since we already have the first two Warcrafts. It's easily one of the best RTS games ever made and having this non-reforged version on GoG without any DRM would be a dream! It should be the last version before Reforged came out (and maybe other versions as well?) in all available languages.

This is my all-time favorite game. When Blizzard released the Reforged version, I was extremely disappointed. I want to be able to play this game legally, in its original version.

I cannot understate how huge of an impact this game had on me as a kid. It was the first game I ended up pulling an all-nighter to play through and I would easily lose track of time playing through the game itself and the insanely diverse creations fans would make in the custom games tab. That Blizzard so callously destroyed and erased this games legacy to promote its disastrous remake was unforgivable and the original must be restored and preserved to prevent something like this from being lost again!

One of the greatest RTS games of all time, and my personal favorite RTS game. Has RPG elements (Heroes with unique abilities, levels, RPG stats, and items), rock paper scissors strength and weakness system (different types of attacks better against different types of armor, kind of like Starcraft, but the game actually tells you this time, and more of it). Not to mention the countless amounts of LEGENDARY custom maps that users made for this phenomenal RTS. Has a solid singleplayer campaign, and melee matches are still a blast to this day. Bliz games always have fantastic, iconic characters and voice acting. It should be a mandatory law that all computers have WC3 permanently welded as a read only rom to their included hard drive, along with Deus Ex. Put the pre-DEmastered version on here Bliz, so we can throw money at you, thanks.

This game was destroyed by Blizzard with their awful Remaster that made this game unplayable. Undoing this would be the best thing Microsoft has ever done for gaming in the last decade.

It's the very first strategy game I ever played. I started playing on my uncle's PC when I was a kid, and I loved it so much he gave it to me the day I got my own PC. I've loved it so much ever since, until someone stole it from me. So it would be a blast to get to play the original one again

I loved this game. Especially the Map Editor. So good. But... Don't vote for this! You know what version you would get. Not the one you actually want. Not the original version. Sorry, but that is just how it would go. Vote for Age of Empires or something instead.

My favorite RTS of all time. Changed the genre. Laid the foundations for WOW. Warcraft 1 and 2 are already here, so is Diablo. Blizzard should cut its losses and give the original back to the fans who loved it. They would probably make more money doing that anyway. It belongs here with Dawn of War and the other timeless classics. The story of Arthas, Thrall and Jaina stays with me even now.

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.
