Playing through Warcraft II

I haven't played the first two since I was a kid and I wanted to see how they hold up. I tried starting with Warcraft but it's completely unplayable. Which is kind of sad because I think with just three tweaks it would still be incredibly dated but at least playable. It needs:

1. Right click to move, attack, etc - By far the most painful omission. Having to hit a hot key every single time to just move around is so painful.

2. Bulk select units - You can only group up to four units at a time which is pretty bad but the worst part is you have to shift click them all individually.

3. Unit group hotkeys - The lack of these is especially egregious given the above. Every single time you want to issue orders to more than one unit you have to shift click them all.

After giving up a few missions in I moved on to Warcraft II which is a much smoother experience. It has some dated designs (weak mission design overall, needing to hunt down every last fricking enemy building to complete the mission) but it's still completely playable and fun. I'm awful at RTS games so it's possible I'll hit a point where the missions are too hard and I move on but so far it's been smooth.

I plan to run through Warcraft III as well. I bought Reforged on sale, I know it had a rough launch but it seems okish now and I think it will be worth it just to play at a normal resolution.
