Warcraft: Orcs & Humans Shareware CD

[MrFlibble]

Recently Hallfiry obtained the shareware CD version of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, which was published by FormGen. Frankly I had never heard about the shareware CD version of the game before that. You can take a look at the CD and box scans here.

The interesting thing is that this version, unlike the shareware CD of Warcraft II, includes more levels compared to Blizzard's FTP demo. In addition to the four demo levels (two per side: level 1 and level 3 from each faction's retail campaign), there are two dungeon levels (level 4 in the retail campaigns). There's also animated intro, victory and defeat screen animations, and more MIDI music compared to the FTP demo. Also the CD includes a copy of the user's manual in DOC and TXT formats.

The game can be fully installed on the hard disk, and has no copy protection whatsoever. The license in VENDOR.TXT indicates that the shareware version can be freely distributed electronically (as any regular shareware version):

I suggest that this version be included here on the site as well.
