Which 1994 game was the first in the Warcraft series, developed by Blizzard Entertainment?

Warcraft: Orcs & Humans was the first game in Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft series.

Blizzard released the real-time strategy game for MS-DOS in 1994. Its campaigns tell the early conflict between the human kingdom of Azeroth and invading orcs from Draenor, establishing the setting and factions that later Warcraft games expanded.

Players gather resources, construct bases, train units, and fight in real time. The game helped Blizzard establish a recognizable approach to strategy design built around distinct factions, campaign storytelling, and competitive multiplayer.

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness followed in 1995 and broadened the series with improved graphics and larger battles. Warcraft is sometimes confused with StarCraft, but StarCraft was a separate science-fiction strategy franchise released in 1998.
