Rock N Roll Racing, that game rocked split screen. Then of course Warcraft I. Water elementals and demons owned. Didn't play Blackthorn.

Warcraft 2. I think that was the last Blizzard game I played too -- loved WC2, just never had the chance to get into any other games since then

Wait.. That was Blizzard's? :p Great game .. Why do I have a feeling that I have played other titles way before Starcraft but I haven't given any attention to the Blizzard logo? :D

Yeah, they were called "Silicon & Synapse" back then, but it's the same company that later became known as Blizzard. :)

Wikipedia Entry

That explains it.. Now where's my SC2 copy? I'm pissed with you Blizzard or should I say.. Wowizzard :| :p
Sometimes I wonder.. Do they even care anymore about the SC community or they are so overwhelmed by the Warcraft and WoW fans?

Either that or The Lost Vikings. I can't remember which one came out first.

Lost Vikings came before Rock N Roll Racing, but....

their first game was the MS-DOS port of Battle Chess under the original company name Silicon & Synapse. It was one of the first games I owned.

My first taste of a Blizzard game was the Warcraft II demo on a PC Gamer mag demo CD. Liked it so much that I ended up getting the full game, and purchased the first one as well. Diablo came out soon after that :D.

Warcraft II. My brother got it cheaply from a second hand shop. We installed it on his PowerMac 5500/225. Ah... memories. :)
