The first RTS game isn't what you think! History of RTS #1
Ойындар
Dune II is often cited as the first real-time strategy game, but it was inspired by over a decade of progress towards modern real-time strategy throughout the 1980s. This is the history of real-time strategy you haven't heard before.

Thanks! There's more coming soon!
This is the kind of computer/gaming history not talked about often.
What an excellent video!! I love that someone is taking the time to tell this history in such an effective and even academic way. I can't wait for the next one of your videos. I've been a fan of RTS my whole life but I was born in the early nineties so I got to learn a lot from this vid.
Always on point ! Great video man
Great video! Looking forward for part 2!
Very cool! This is the kind of content that proofs the niche of the niche concept. Loved it!!!!
Love the intro. Great job on the content. Keep it coming!

I played the shit out of Legionnaire on my Atari 800. The manual that comes with it does a wonderful job of describing your Roman legion units and the enemy Barbarian hordes.
Great hoodie fam.. I used to grind on populous, they ported it onto snes, it was so addictive, and later played warcraft 1 and 2, as well as c&c red alert, then getting to try the original C&C, but didn't know about the dune games, or hertzog being by westwood studios.. On your mmorpg end, it would be cool to see pso 1 and 2 on dreamcast, and gamecube history, or any unknown things about it, if it's still in your realm.. I played eq frontiers around the same time, then onto halo 2 and socom 2 prior to that, and wow in after those 2 titles.. I had a good group of xbox live friends, made it hard to go and play Wow then..
Bro why are you so underrated
I played Mail Order Monsters on my C64 and if my memory is right that was also an RTS? Looking forward to more of your videos.

Awsome Video ... thanks! Just for future use: Herzog Zwei is a German Title/Name and is pronounced Herzog - Her (like in she) Zog (like Zoo with a g in the end and shorter) meaning Duke Zwei - Z as in Zebra and wei like you pronounced it meaning is Two So its Duke 2
Herzog Zwei - The Count 2
I also used to play Theme Hospital for pc which was a bullfrog production as well.. one of the wackiest surreal type sim games ever.. I didn't care for the roller coaster tycoons as much..
