A series of RTS games based on the Left Behind novels appeared in 2006 and received three sequels. Board game maker Milton Bradley tried to cash in with a game loosely based on Axis and Allies, while Dungeons & Dragons got an RTS spin with 2005РІР‚в„ўs Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard. Money rushed to fill the gap, leading to real-time strategy games based on Star Wars, Star Trek, and The Lord of the Rings. The departure of the genreРІР‚в„ўs biggest studios left a vacuum. Microsoft shuttered Ensemble Studios in 2009. EnsembleРІР‚в„ўs next RTS, Halo Wars, received scant praise from critics and sold poorly compared to prior Halo titles. But the studio also pursued several canceled projects, including an MMORPG set in the Halo universe that reportedly had a budget of 90 million dollars. Microsoft acquired the studio in 2001, leading to the successful Age of Empires III. Activision-Blizzard has not released sales figures for the remaster.Р”В®nsemble StudiosРІР‚в„ў found itself on a similar trajectory.

It would go on to sell at least 11 million copies, a figure that predates the 2017 release of Starcraft: Remastered.

BlizzardРІР‚в„ўs sci-fi RTS rocketed up the charts, selling 1.5 million copies by the end of the year to become the best-selling PC game of 1998. Kim and his friends, like many PC gamers, jumped on board the new game and never looked back. Blizzard Entertainment, which had earned a reputation for quality with its own hit real-time strategy franchise, Warcraft, stormed onto the scene with 1998РІР‚в„ўs Starcraft. РІР‚СљI really got into it, and we would play after school.РІР‚Сњ Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and Australia were also prime markets for real-time strategy games, with new RTS games frequently topping the charts in these countries.Р”В«ut the success of Red Alert was the tip of the iceberg. РІР‚Сљ Red Alert was the main game everyone played multiplayer,РІР‚Сњ Kim says. Photograph: CGW MuseumР”Вavid Kim, lead game designer at the newly formed Uncapped Games and former designer on Starcraft II, was introduced to Red Alert while growing up in South Korea. The market, hungry for RTS games, used to be able to support roundups like this one in Computer Gaming World, with more launching each year.

WestwoodРІР‚в„ўs rapid release of two blockbuster titles put real-time strategy on the cover of PC gaming magazines, not only in the United States but across the globe.

The studio doubled down on its success with the release of Red Alert in 1996, which sold even more quickly than its predecessor and included an online chat program, Westwood Chat, that players could use to organize online games. Command & Conquer hit stores in 1995 and sold more than a million copies in its first year, establishing Westwood as a leader in a new, breakout genre. Louis Castle, speaking to Computer & Video Games magazine in a 2008 interview, said Westwood РІР‚Сљwanted players to imagine that their computer at home was a terminal to a real battlefield that communicated directly with your units in the field.РІР‚Сњ The team at Westwood took inspiration from media coverage of the Gulf War but added its own sci-fi spin. Sperry, frustrated with the restrictions and costs of licensing an established franchise like Dune, pushed Westwood to gamble on a new, original IP that riffed on modern warfare and the technology that drove it. Yet Dune II didnРІР‚в„ўt receive a direct sequel. Sign up for our Games newsletter and never miss our latest gaming tips, reviews, and features.
