One of the first RTS games, and named as inspiration for Warcraft, Starcraft, Dune 2, and Command and Conquer, Herzog Zwei was an innovator and is now recognized for its contribution to the creation of the RTS genre. At the time? It didn't do very well commercially, and while it did have relatively good reviews from MOST outlets, EGM (which in 1990 was pretty substantial for game coverage) gave it a 4.25/10. It has since gotten some TLC with a Sega Ages remaster release on the Switch, and a release on the Sega Genesis Mini 2.

Pricecharting has it at around 33 bucks loose, 85 bucks complete in box. The Sega Ages Remaster on the Switch is 9 bucks Canadian (I live in Canada, what can I say, I'm not gonna price it all out for you in YOUR country) which seems like a pretty good deal. Beyond the Genesis and Switch version, and the re-release on the Mini 2, it's not really available in any other capacity.

Did you get down with Herzog Zwei?
