I missed out on Warcraft III the first time around. What's the best way to play the original game today?

Well, I can report I played Warcraft III and a plethora of other games with Wine back in the days. So I am sure (given how Wine has improved) you still can play it with Wine. No Windows required.

The HD remaster is the only official means on Battle.net, but it sucks. I'd recommend just torrenting the original and running in a VM. Plenty of active private servers still out there.

Hello, fellow 40-45(?) year old. I feel like anyone preferring Warcraft III is in their 30s. Grew up with the Warcraft II Battle Chest and it was a vibe .

38, I played 2, but it was pretty bad compared to Warcraft III. Three still holds up just as well as it did back then.

IMO, Starcraft 1 is better than both 2 and 3.

III has a better and more interesting story telling. But gameplay wise I really like the starcraft 1 system without the heros. I think warcraft 3 adds too much complexity and gimmickry that takes away from fun RTS gameplay.

That said, Warcraft 3 mods were the shit. There were so many fun and inventive modes of play that you could just barely do with starcraft and not at all with warcraft.
