Warcraft I & II Now Available On GOG
About a month ago, Blizzard and GOG released an updated version of Diablo, which was retooled to better work on contemporary PC hardware. Along with it, the companies said that the first two Warcraft games would be getting a similar treatment in the future. Well, the future is now. Both Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II Battle.net Edition are available on GOG's digital storefront.
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans gets a fairly spartan port, which isn't to knock the fact that you can actually play the thing again on a modern PC. Warcraft II gets a little more, with two different versions included. The first adds support for high-res displays and supports LAN multiplayer, while the second delivers classic SVGA visuals and Battle.net matchmaking.
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans will set you back $5.99, and Warcraft II Battle.net Edition is priced at $9.99. If you want the whole package, you can buy the bundle for $14.99.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
