Did you ever play the Dune RTS? That’s one that I think comes across as awesome at the time, but significantly suffers when you go back and look at the actual gameplay, which certainly was not as polished or as well done as any of the Warcraft series.
Dune 2 is still fun to me though despite the primitive 2D overhead perspective. It's basically not even isometric like you would expect in a modern RTS. The difference is like Sim City vs Sim City 2000. Hell, I played Dune 2 just 3 days ago to be honest.

The music, the cutscenes, the primitive digitized voices, and the basic gameplay are still fun. If you get hung up on the graphics, then go play your PS3 because you don't "get it" or never played it in the first place back in the day. That I understand, as nostalgia plays a big part in appreciating old games.





Yes, obviously it's not Starcraft II!
