>>2404243
Starcraft 64
Shockingly enough it was so good to my 8 year old self it started my lifelong appreciation for the genre

If Mega-Lo-Mania counts as RTS then this.
If not then probably Utopia: The Creation of Nation
Both from 1991

Rise of Nations

command and conquer N64 edition

why the fuck did the N64 get so many RTS ports?

>>2404686
Because it has the ideal controller layout for RTS games.

Tribal Rage (post apocalyptic RTS with many factions and editor)

Great Win95 era

>>2404243
Legionaire by Avalon Hill for the Atari 8-bit.

>>2404243
kknd i think.

Probably Warcraft 2 or Command and Conquer

command and conquer or warcraft or populous. i'm honestly not sure, too old

Probably battle realms. I remember playing aoe1 afterwards and being very confused as to why my villagers wouldn't go into the barracks to train

>>2404746
to add to this, i think it was the first one because i definitely remember playing it as if i didn't know what a selection box was. i built like 30 units and i inched them forward one by one in the direction of the enemy base, moving at maybe a fifth of a screen per click. i don't remember if i ever beat the first mission but if i did, i must have felt insanely elated.
so if you're wondering why rts tutorials to this day have basic shit like an explanation of a selection box, it's for literal children or people who have never touched an rts before. though i think adults would realize that there must be a better way to do it than moving one unit forward at a time even if they hadn't played an rts before

>>2404391
Fellow Tiberian Sun initiate, excellent.

>>2404243
Tiberian Dawn

Halo wars

Dune 2, IIRC
Although I did so at a time when shit like WC2 and CnC:RA were already around

Either Starcraft or Warcraft 2, can't say for certain.

Age of Mythology

>>2404243

>>2404243
warcraft 2

>>2404243
If Gruntz counts, it was Gruntz. Otherwise, Dark Reign was the first one I remember buying.

starcraft, i saw the box in the store didnt know what it was or what a rts was

Rise of Nations
Then Empire Earth, Settlers 3, Zeus: Master of Olympus and Rise of Legends

I cant recall if it was Age of mythology or Star Wars empire at war

Rage of Mages

AoE2, my classroom when i was 7 had a computer in a back and we could play Akanoid, Tomb Raider and AoE2 during breaks
We had no idea how to play, i remember kids trying to figure out on to build stuff (they thought they had to bring more wood and stone to the construction instead of having the builders work on it)
It's a nice memory

Warcraft 1/2 and warwind 1/2, then kknd 1/2 and dune. All on fucking bootlegged discettes or whatever you call em. Yes I'm ancient

If you consider Sea Battle for the Intellivision an RTS, then that.

Otherwise, it would either be Warcraft 2 or C&C: Red Alert. Don't remember which was first.

>>2404243
either settlers 1 or dune 2 on amiga

>>2404243
Star Wars: Empire at War.

This was also one of the first PC games I ever played, and the first one I officially owned, at the ripe old age of eight. I still vividly remember the excitement I had when I figured out I could also play as the Empire within the campaign and skirmish matches.

I picked this over Total War: Empire at a Walmart. I'm real happy I ended up picking the Star War, because eight year old me would have have probably been grossly overwhelmed and disappointed trying to learn the Total War all by myself.

I still play it to this day.

>>2404243
The first Starcraft via a pirated copy burned to an unmarked CD my uncle sent me in the mail when I was like 6.

>>2404243
Lego Battles. The DS mostly had tactical RPGs, but it was probably the best console for RTS.

>>2404243
AOE 1 or Settlers 2. I can't remember which.

so many uncs and boomers here

Dune 2000 or Command and Conquer, got both around the same time when I got a home computer

StarCraft 2 just as it came out because I was 8 at the time and my uncle showed it to me. Actually it was my second video game ever, the first being Anno 1701, also shown to me by that same uncle

Red Alert.

>>2404243
Whichever c&c is on the n64. Goddamn that game was terrible in hindsight but I thought it kicked ass back then.

>>2404243
Age of Mythology.
I had no idea how spoiled I was at the time.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

Dune II on Sega Genesis
the first PC one is definitely Dune2k

>>2414024
I remember this, it was the first RTS I actually completed, wish the unit path finding was better and you could select more than 9 units at a time

Let me get your Ensure shake gramps, I know you get cranky without it.

>>2419948
Looks pretty cool

>>2419948
Somewhat similar setup to Autumn War Flash game, huh.

>>2404243
Majesty 2 on my phone when I was like 14

>>2404527
Do you like 2160?

>>2420269
Not particularly. While it had some interesting ideas, it was overall a janky, short, disappointing continuation that ended on a cliffhanger and aged poorly. I remember preferring to play the unpatched version because patches would fix one thing and break another.

>>2407632
Similar for me. School computers had both aoe1 and 2. Then I got my own AOE2 copy and became a history nerd.

>>2404486
Same. But it was my Dad's Amiga 1200.

>>2404243
Age of Empires 1
That one demo level where you start with one priest similar to holy man is seared into my brain.

>>2404243
Probably either warcraft 3 or the console version of the first command and conquer
