Warcraft II: The Tides of Darkness is the real-time fantasy strategy game from Blizzard Entertainment that quickly became a best seller. Warcraft has not only become a classic, but it has set new standards for multiplayer games.

Set in the mythic kingdom of Azeroth, the battle rages on over land, sea, and air. Players are given the task of maintaining a thriving economy while building a war machine with which to destroy the enemy. By playing either the Humans or the Orcs in this saga, two separate story lines evolve with 14 scenarios per side telling the tale of the battle for Azeroth.

From swords to sorcery, all the elements of classic fantasy are here to explore. Rich forests, snowy fields, and barren wasteland await the stalwart troops amassed to fight for the lands of Azeroth. Using many unique weapons of war that include Dragons, Battleships, Elven Archers, Zepplins, Death Knights and Juggernauts, both Humans and Orcs will use combined-arms tactics in an effort to become the true rulers of Azeroth.
