Majesty, Commando, Impossible creatures, AOE(old version), Warcraft 3, Hundred swords, Desperado. I am in tears 😢. How beautiful my childhood was in spite of all the obstacles I faced in my life! I thank the game developers from the bottom of my heart who made my childhood memorable.
@@1AEGIS The original version released initially. I would request you to take a look at Hexen 2 gameplay with enhanced textures. It's smooth, beautiful and yet retains the nostalgic charm it once was.
I loved rise of nations and age of empires. But my favorite would be warlords 3, and Majesty 2 (which is not in the list), they had a rather unique approach.
Warzone 2100, thank you. For this video i have found the game ive been looking for since i was 8. This was my first game on pc i have ever played, my father had this game and i would play it for HOURS when i was 5, i forgot the name of the game but i remember the graphics and sound of the game. Im feeling REALLY nonstalgic now ;)
Thank you very much for this list. Rise and fall civilizations at war was one of the games I played as a child, I couldn't remember the name, thanks to you, I remembered the name of the game again.
Warzone 2100! What a Great game! I think i finished it 3 times, 1 on PS1 and 2 times on PC. I loved this customization of tanks and planes, the progression of technologies from lousy machine guns to lasers. The last zone with those pulse lasers, railguns was a great "pew pew" mysterious atmosphere. Always wished the campaign lasted longer after I unlocked best weapons and cool looking tank parts. Man , I loved building those bases, preparing defenses... I think I am gonna play it for 4th time..
So glad to see that some1 knows that Warlords Battlecry exist :D that game is so amazing , you can rarely see a RTS with 16 or so races that are completely different from each other and the heroes mechanics too are cool.
I'm soo happy you included Warrior Kings. That game is legendary with some of the most unique game mechanics out of any strategy games and AAA top tier writing! But barely anyone knows about it, which is a crying shame.
I was obsessed with Warrior Kings back the the day, before even broadband was a thing. Great game, good music but I did find it difficult as a young pup.
Из всего перечисленного играл только в Age of Empires 2, Emperor: Battle for Dune и Empire Earth. Одни из моих любимейших игр. Оригинальные диски до сих пор в коробке на чердаке лежат. Не увидел тут некоторых игр, в которые тоже играл давно. Command & Conquer, серию античных империй от Impressions Games, Civilization III, Stronghold, Battle for Middle-Earth, Казаки, America: No Peace Beyond the Line!, The Settlers III. По крайней мере, что вспомнил.
@@xianchinazn у меня был диск, только я его кому-то когда-то дал и мне его так и не вернули. У меня много стратегий было. Начиная ещё с "Чёрного ворона" на спектруме. Тоже, кстати, классная.
I was looking for Besieger game for at least 10 years... omg ty so much.... i remembered it has started something like "Be" but i was looking for Berseker always...
14:47 I was looking for warlords battlecry 3 gameplay footage and stumbled upon this gem, I used to play this when I was a kid on one of those old fat pcs back in the day and I didn't even know this game came out one year before I was born, I started looking for it 6 years ago or so and couldn't find it any where and had give up. I'm so glad I found it even after I had made peace with the fact that I'd probably never find it. This game and heroes of might and magic 4 were my child hood (I know homm3 is better but my pc had updated and couldn't run my physical dvd copy of the game any more)
I remember Spellforce, it was basically and RTS/RPG hybrid. It's been an eternity since I played. I never got far into it because I was just a dumb kid who didn't understand either of those genres yet.
There are so many RTS titles missing here, such as the entire C&C series, or Warcraft, or The Settlers, the Warhammer series also has at least one older RTS game as far as I know. Joint Task Force... . And many others already mentioned in advance. But good work for a very old game Emperor Battle for Dune, this game is a heartthrob, even though I'm more into Fantasy than Sci-Fi.
Kohan 1 and Kohan 2 are gems, I never seen anyone playing it, multiplayer I think never worked, and even on platforms like GameRanger I can't see anyone playing it, but it's still insane gems, love it ! (Sadly the 2 is bugging on recent OS so games randomly crashes from time to time, it's playable but can sometimes be annoying)
No, I can't recall any game crashes during single player or multiplayer. I am running windows 10/11 and have no problems with the steam version. I do recall some online crashes when playing a pirated version. You could save an online game just like a normal campaign map and when the crash occurred, the host would just start a new online game with that save file. That helped a lot when playing huge maps, where matches could go up for hours.
Куда девались серия Sudden Strike, Блицкриг и Карибский кризис, Казаки, Generals, серия Total War, Цива, В тылу врага, Company of Heroes и многие другие.
Good list, will replay some of these. Warrior kings Battles is excellent and still holds up today, as does praetorians and spell force. You forgot Blitzkrieg, Sacefoce, Men of war and Hero's of world war 2.
Thank you so much! With your video I finally found the name of a game I played in my teens but forgotten the name! I searched for ages because nobody featured it anywhere!
You could Yoy not remeber Heroes o.O i mean i do look for one strategy game ive played when i was a kid , but teens time know them all lol :) happy U found it :) it's one of the kind , its top 5 all my life games !!

Thank you for featuring Battle Realms. Being asian, this game having rice as the main resource is pretty accurate. And oh btw, the game still continues up to now with updates, and is downloadable in steam. 💯🤙
2006...old 🙂 I must be too old then. I expected things like Total Annihilation, C&C and Red Alert original series, maybe Starcraft 1, Heroes or Disciples 2, Populous 3...and even these are not old considering you could go back all the way to early 90s. Oh well.
Happy to see No Man's Land and Castle Strike(forgot its name and been searching for it) mentioned. I used to love these as a kid but I lost the discs, and my PC was reformatted.

Yes I am that old

Metal Fatigue should have been included in the list! Absolutely awesome game for anyone who wants to look it up.
Ahh yes. American Conquest. The most underrated strategy game ever made. It was such a shame that it was so insanly poorly optimized
Omg i love u man i was searching for the title of the game from my childhood and it's Warrior Kings tysm
Sudden strike, Blitzkrieg, America: No peace beyond the line, Three kingdoms : Fate of the dragon, Stronghold, Cossacks
StarCraft + Broodwar should def be in this.
