If you consider yourself a Warcraft II junkie and are looking for a simple nostalgic challenge, then this demo is worth the download. It not an open alpha, it is not an open pre-alpha, it is an open beta and as far as I am concerned 'open beta' means that there are some minor details missing and/or not implemented but will come shortly. During testing, we found that the demo works well on Windows XP, as well as on older versions of Windows. TBH adn IMO Offline custom games arent an extra feature but a standard thing to have and this should work before launching the beta. You aren't able to queue build orders, or assign group numbers to selected units, as just a few examples. A lack of advanced features (that appear as serious improvements in Age of Empires and Warcraft III) does make Warcraft II less appealing. Gameplay is straightforward and the game's graphics, while not state-of-the-art (this version was released in 1996, after all) are not so basic as to detract from the game itself.
The goals are basic: build bases for your peasants, collect gold and lumber and keep the enemy at bay. Warcraft II allows you to play either as a human or an orc, and each race is given its own special set of abilities and talents. An older version of the real-time strategy classic, this fantasy adventure still holds interest despite out-of-date graphics and limited advanced features.
