    The granddaddy of RTS, or does that title still belong to Command & Conquer: Red Alert?

    Age of Empires II was in '99.

    Command and Conquer was released in '95.

    And that was preceded by the excellent Dune II on the PC in '92 and the Amiga/Megadrive in '93.

    And then there were tons of others, like Powermonger and Populous from EA

    /hipster cap - Herzog Zwei on the Megadrive is where it's at :pac:

    Was always a Red Alert man myself, never really got into the Age of Empires games, found them a bit slow.

    I had this on the Megadrive. Couldn't get my head around the gameplay as a lad but I still remember that ****ing noise the game would constantly make, like a duck quacking or something
