If they work on the steam deck, I’m going for it. University lan parties in the computer labs with smuggled in beers while playing Warcraft were fantastic.
That is, until they figured out that the one winning strategy was to play Orcs and get blood ogres asap, then just swarm with them. After that, the entire game hinged on the fastest clicks and where you landed for your starting base.
You can buy Hellfire and Diablo on GoG, and they work great. I even used that to put Hellfire on my Anbernic Linux handheld, and that was probably the best way to play it I’ve ever tried.

I own some of these on gog. I wonder how that effects me.

I still have my discs. Do I have to buy them again?
It’s Blizzard.
Jokes on them. I’ve been using the same no-cd crack for Brood Wars for like 25 years now.
If you got the codes you can register them on bnet. They don’t support the DOS versions, unless something has changed recently.
I feel like I entered the disc codes years ago. I’ll have to check later.
Did Wc1 even have a version with a cd-key?
edit: On that matter, doesn’t every version of wc1 require DOS or Mac?
Yeah I’m uncertain about #1, I know you needed the windows version of 2 to use it.
I can’t play any of these games anymore. WC3 and SC2 gameplay ruined it for me.
I still play diablo and WC2 from time to time. Love them. Especially diablo.
Warcraft is $6
Warcraft 2 is $10
Diablo is $10
They aren’t available on macos
Especially ironic/sad since old Blizzard games always worked on Win & Mac.

Why buy them DRMed when you can get them DRM-free on GOG?
