Actually, Fifth, if the thread I created to debate whether Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition is a standalone release is to be believed, the current consensus is "do not".

I meant "do" as in "do count it as the same game".
Turns out pretty academic either way, because it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere anymore.

Collectible/Sammlerstück is a fancy name for saying a game is used, but is a special edition or is rare, I expect.

From my checking on the German version of the site, it seems you're correct.

Not sold anywhere indexed by the CSE, nor on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de . On that note, we really need a search helper tool to filter the Amazon results. *Mad scientist thinking*

Yup, I can confirm your findings. (Frankly, though, I can't believe Blizzard isn't selling the Battle.net edition of this game themselves! ) However, it would appear Blizzard still supports both the original and the Battle.net edition.

Confirmed for both Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness and Warcraft II - Battle.net Edition. Therefore, unless the Battle.net version of Warcraft II, with its implementation of Battle.net (a still-supported multiplayer system), requires otherwise, this game can be approved.

Battle.net should not affect the support status for this game, since it is a separate system in and of itself. Blizzard has been using the original BN as a de facto standard for their games' multiplayer until Starcraft II.

In that case...

Warcraft II - Tides of Darkness - [APPROVED]

I assume that the expansion, "Beyond the Dark Portal" would be approved as well?

[The Fifth Horseman]

Yes. In fact, the archive on our FTP contains both.

If the game is approved, how do we get it?
