Well C&C was also just inspired by Dune II.

...and it's not like Dune 2 was 100% original either.

Even if we're in a Warcraft topic, what were the predecessors of Dune 2? I know there are some (so I'm not doubting your comment ) but I have no idea which RTS games were earlier than Dune 2, it was the first one I ever played.

Yes I agree there, the first Warcraft was different than the following two parts in a way, it has a special stern atmosphere that Warcraft II and III don't, imo.

Such an amazing game! People give C&C too much credit in my opinion. WarCraft was the true trend setter for RTS games.

Anyone else have the problem when running the game that moving the mouse to the edge of the screen doesn't scroll it and right clicking troops to a destination doesn't work either?
