Warcraft II: The Dark Saga (PSX)
Value: $15 (disc only) on eBay
Actual Cost: $0.50
I was perusing the CD roms at a local thrift when I came across this Playstation game. Warcraft II came in the original case (which was cracked so I switched it out for a typical CD rom case) but no manual. It's a little scratched, but it tested fine. All the video and audio worked well.
Warcraft II is an old favorite of mine. It's probably my favorite real-time strategy game. It plays well enough, but it's probably not as well rounded as some of the other RTS classics. However, it does have great presentation. The voice acting is top notch. The graphics are very 1995, in a good way. The Dark Saga combines the original and the first expansion pack. This port plays pretty well, actually. It's always hit or miss when you're taking a mouse interface and porting it to gamepad controllers. There were a couple of added features too. Sadly, the music and unit voices seemed to have gotten cut to fit the two games to one disk.
Overall, a nice find, but I'm not sure how much more play this will get, considering I can play this on the PC already.
