Warcraft I Remastered & Warcraft II Remastered: A Badly Broken Dream Come True

[Dark Jaguar]

To date, the best remaster they did was Starcraft 1.  It can be played in vanilla pretty much exactly how it originally was, with some modern quality of life and compatibility with modern systems.  Compared to that, their other remasters are lacking so very much.  I think there's a budgeting issue to blame here.  As it stands, I've gone ahead and reinstalled the old versions of the games pre-remaster.  With Warcraft III that turned out to be difficult, since there were SOME updates that made it work properly on modern systems that were never released as standalone patches, so I had to hunt down the game files to get it up to the version JUST before Battle.net and their revised EULA was mandated, so that it plays correctly and the cinematics aren't washed out but also aren't the AI upressed way too smooth versions.  As it stands, at least now I can actually play the originals as intended.  One other detail, I even installed the DOS version of Warcraft II just because.  It's not going to be my go-to, that'll be the GOG release of Battle.net edition (which added in a modded executable that works in full screen properly on modern systems), but it's nice for the history of it.  If you haven't moved on to one of DOSBox's forks, I would.  It struggles to use a disc image of Beyond the Dark Portal without an error message, where DOSBOX-X plays that disc image I made just fine.
