Dune 2 was great. The Building of Dynasty. Possibly the first RTS for computer. Well I know it's the first one I played on computer. I didn't get where Ordo came from, but their Deviator was weak. I would just Deviate the Devastator and self-destruct so I won't have to worry about that monstrosity.
Then there was Red Alert 2. Came out similar time as Starcraft. I think I liked Red Alert 2 because it was from Westwood and Dune 2 was made from Westwood. But RA2 didn't live as long as Starcraft is....

Some say that Dune 2 was not the first RTS ever, but it is sure that it is the first on computers, and the first to use the mouse.

Westwood began the Command and Conquer serie just after Dune 2: C&C, Red Alert, Tiberium sun ... But Dune 2 is still the first in my heart.

What I miss is the innovations: how many good and innovating RTS have been produced since 2000 ? Ground control, Supreme Commander, Homeworld, spellforce, fire department. I count them on one hand.

It was better in the 90s : less games, but they were all special.

I'm 21 and I already say "it was better before"
