Are they the 'epics' of their time, or some things that are less well known?

Best way to play this these days? I have a disk from the early 2000s, but iirc the last time I tried to use it, it just prompted an update that led to a blizzard launcher... idr if it wanted me to buy a new digital copy or what, but I ultimately decided it was more work than it's worth and gave up.

...these days I don't think I even have a CD drive lol.

All their games launch through their "Battle.net Launcher" now. It's not the same as Battle.net was back then. I play on Linux via Lutris (add Battle.net launcher to Lutris).

I think if you have your cdkey on there you can sync up for a digital copy on their website. Same account needed for the launcher. It's all annoying, but that's how it works now. Plays flawlessly though.
