Submarine titans would probably be my 3rd favaorite. It was like Starcraft in the ocean but with 2 races. You had humans (good and bad races) and aliens

Come on GOG.com make this game available.
Only problem with Broodwar is it doesn't work right on modern Windows OSes, and Blizzard said they'd "try and figure out a solution" a few years ago and nothing ever came of it.
starcraft mass recall will allow you to play it in the new SC 2 engine

also a few of those probably wont play on modern computers either. Thats why I am hoping GOG will rerelease some of those games.
I fired up brood wars tonight on the original game.... it worked after I disabled crossfire on my video cards.... was impressed it worked :D

Age of Empires 2 plays fine on windows 10 I never had any issues with it.
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds however won't install on anything beyond windows XP. Would be nice if Steam would pick that one up I did enjoy it. Even though it was insanely easy.
I havent Firedup SWGB in ages... I may have to do that... loved it back in the day.

I am waiting on the remaster also. In the mean time I am enjoying SC2
