For the game world as a whole, see Warcraft Universe. Warcraft : Orcs & Humans The original box art for Warcraft: Orcs & Humans Developer(s) Blizzard Entertainment Publisher(s) Blizzard Entertainment Designer(s) Blizzard Entertainment Engine Custom Latest version 1.21 Release date(s) January 15, 1994 Genre(s) Real-time strategy Mode(s) Single player, Multiplayer Platform(s) DOS, Macintosh System requirements Intel 80386 CPU, 4MB RAM, VGA graphic card, CD-ROM Input Keyboard and mouse Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a real-time strategy computer game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment in 1994. Originally developed for DOS, the game was subsequently ported to version 7 of MacOS making it fully playable on the Macintoshes of the era. Currently an open source project, game engine Alpha, has as one of its goals to Recreate the game engine of Warcraft 1. The project is in early development. The real-time strategy genre had been pioneered by Dune 2, among other games, but Warcraft (along with Westwood Studios' Command & Conquer) is widely credited for the genre's rise in popularity. Warcraft and its sequels went on to become one of the most successful franchises in computer gaming history. The game is set in the kingdom of Azeroth, part of the fictional Warcraft Universe. The events that take place in this game are known in Warcraft lore as The First Great War or The Great War. Contents 1 Units and Structures 2 Movie 3 Trivia 4 Spin-offs 5 External links 5.1 Lore Units and Structures As with real-time strategy computer games at the time, Warcraft featured two opposing factions, the noble Humans and the savage Orcs. Again, as in other games of this genre, each faction’s units and buildings have a counterpart within the other faction. With the exception of some spells, each unit is almost exactly the same as its counterpart. For example, orc spearmen do slightly more damage than human archers while having a slightly reduced range. Movie Just before E3 2006, an official press release from Blizzard announced that a live action motion picture based on the Warcraft world was being planned. Legendary Pictures has acquired the movie rights for the game universe, and both companies are now focused on translating the Warcraft experience to the big screen. No further details have been released [1]. Trivia Bill Roper provided all the voices for the game. Unlike future titles, every unit of each race had the exact same voice. Individual characters in the game give amusing responses when clicked repeatedly. Blizzard Entertainment has maintained this feature in all of its strategy games, and many other companies have copied it. Continuous clicking of wandering animals such as sheep or cows will result in the Animal exploding. No damage is generated, however it is an amusing side game included within the game. Both factions (Orcs and Humans) are made up of only their respective races. In the first sequel, both factions form an alliance including other races as well. Humans with Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes, and Orcs with Trolls, Ogres and Goblins. Even later on when the Goblins, and Ogres become neutral factions again, the Orcs gain Jungle Trolls and Tauren while the Humans gain Elves and Dwarves.
