I am sure the first few will be rough given 90's graphics.

EA has all 10 games for $5.99.

Red alert 2, Warcraft 3, and age of empires 2 are my Mount Rushmore of rts gaming.

I tried to get back into modern/remastered rts games when I got back into pc gaming but I just can’t seem to get hooked like I once did.

I was raised on those games and the cheesy FMV cut scenes. Tiberian Sun with James Earl Jones and Michael Biehn is particularly exceptional “90s sci-fi show on the CW” schlock.

Red Alert 2 is the GOAT RTS

Nope $6.56, that $.57 will buy me.......will buy me....NM.

That said I wish I would have known, I would have bought them on Steam.

They've gotten overly complicated to me.

AOE2 and those old games are pretty simple, fun games with the right amount of game mechanics.

I want to get Manor Lords. Beautiful game, and I love base building games. It's right down my alley, but late game looks way too much crap to keep up with.

The well known actors that they got to do the cut scenes is crazy.

Red Alert 2 was my jam... The modding community was ridiculously active for an early 2000s game.

Brother, start a stream for that play through.

I’d tune it for that.

EA sports lord of the rings was solid. Agree with AOE2!

I can't get into RTS games anymore. I used to love these sorts of games in high school though. Was a huge fan of StarCraft.

My kids and I still play AOE2 and Red Alert 2. Nostalgia for me and a new experience for them. I also played a little Starcraft with them but they won't play that anymore after I taught them the pain of a zerg rush.

I was enthralled with it when I first played it, but i felt like I had no idea what I was doing and building things out of order felt really bad.
