Memory Lane: A Walkthrough of Blizzard’s Cancelled “Warcraft Adventures”

Many people didn’t know this (present company included) but in the late 90s, Blizzard was working on an adventure game based on Warcraft, but with the style of Monkey Island. Unfortunately, this project was scrapped in 1998 when Blizzard didn’t think they could meet any deadlines or compete with Monkey Island III. In March, the above footage appeared online of a walk through the game’s alpha.

Yes, the footage is fairly old, but since many people haven’t seen the footage, (hell, until Reddit posted it, I hadn’t either)  and it’s a slow Fourth of July Sunday, I thought it’d be neat to take a trip down memory lane and see what could’ve, and should’ve, been. I kind of wish Blizzard hadn’t cancelled the game, but given the circumstances, I can absolutely understand why they did.
