Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen
Populous 2: The BeginningI think.
>>2404243Empire earth
>>2404243Dune II on the Amiga 1200.I'm an oldfag, sue me.
>>2404486why are you even still here
>>2404506Someone's gotta keep an eye on you kids to set you straight once in a while.
Earth 2140
>>2404243some game on a demo cd idk the name ofrome total war was the first one i owned
>>2404243Empire Earth. Probably... might have played AoE2 prior to this on a classmate's PC. it's been a long time
>>2404243Starcraft 64Shockingly enough it was so good to my 8 year old self it started my lifelong appreciation for the genre
>>2404243If Mega-Lo-Mania counts as RTS then this.If not then probably Utopia: The Creation of NationBoth from 1991
>>2404243starcraft brood war
>>2404243
>>2404243Rise of Nations
command and conquer N64 edition
why the fuck did the N64 get so many RTS ports?
>>2404686Because it has the ideal controller layout for RTS games.
Tribal Rage (post apocalyptic RTS with many factions and editor)Great Win95 era
>>2404243Legionaire by Avalon Hill for the Atari 8-bit.
>>2404243kknd i think.
Probably Warcraft 2 or Command and Conquer
command and conquer or warcraft or populous. i'm honestly not sure, too old
Probably battle realms. I remember playing aoe1 afterwards and being very confused as to why my villagers wouldn't go into the barracks to train
>>2404746to add to this, i think it was the first one because i definitely remember playing it as if i didn't know what a selection box was. i built like 30 units and i inched them forward one by one in the direction of the enemy base, moving at maybe a fifth of a screen per click. i don't remember if i ever beat the first mission but if i did, i must have felt insanely elated.so if you're wondering why rts tutorials to this day have basic shit like an explanation of a selection box, it's for literal children or people who have never touched an rts before. though i think adults would realize that there must be a better way to do it than moving one unit forward at a time even if they hadn't played an rts before
>>2404391Fellow Tiberian Sun initiate, excellent.
>>2404243Tiberian Dawn
Halo wars
Dune 2, IIRCAlthough I did so at a time when shit like WC2 and CnC:RA were already around
Either Starcraft or Warcraft 2, can't say for certain.

Rise of NationsThen Empire Earth, Settlers 3, Zeus: Master of Olympus and Rise of Legends

>>2404243AoE2, my classroom when i was 7 had a computer in a back and we could play Akanoid, Tomb Raider and AoE2 during breaksWe had no idea how to play, i remember kids trying to figure out on to build stuff (they thought they had to bring more wood and stone to the construction instead of having the builders work on it)It's a nice memory

If you consider Sea Battle for the Intellivision an RTS, then that.Otherwise, it would either be Warcraft 2 or C&C: Red Alert. Don't remember which was first.
