Quote from drac : 0. warcraft 3 (the one that started it all, and maybe still the best)

Warcraft 3 is a Real Time Strategy, not a Tower Defense (which is a sub-genre, but still clearly different styles).

Thanks! Ordered a couple for a bunch of kids at our library.

How to activate the code?

I wish slickdeals had a reminder so I do this on Oct 30th

only if you play tournament or single player campaign. And that's like only 20% of the game. The custom levels are a millions times better. Lots of current day games were spawned from wc3 custom levels.

I'm not sure if it's worth the time arguing about a game that's like 2 decades old though

Cool find. Thanks OP!

Great Idea!!!

I don't see why people are looking at this as a replacement for candy. I plan on giving it with candy. Just a nice reminder to enjoy that candy, but brush those chompers when you're done.

Is this the original version with the Michael Jackson zombie or is that not even available anymore?

wc3 is so very much not 2 decades old.
not even wc1 (i hope, i was in high school then...)

Great idea to hand these out on Halloween

Quote from duenor : Top 3 tower defense type games: 1. defense grid 2. plants vs zombies 3. warzone: anomaly

Three great games. I'd like to add one of my favs:

4. Geometry Wars

Eh, I'll take a copy and pass some out, saves me money too

Quote from YourOnlineHero : I wish slickdeals had a reminder so I do this on Oct 30th

Just set a deal alert for "Plants vs Zombies". I guarantee there will be at least 5 reposts of this on Halloween, so it'll trigger.

just hop on over to custom games and you should see a crap load, though I haven't been on there for years so I don't know if anyone is still on it

The best ones are co-op. Good wc3 td maps are leaps and bounds better than whole standalone td games out there, which are often crap in comparison (aside from PvZ)

A quick google shows these:
power towers
cube defense
element td
skibi td
ryoko td
runner circle
poker td
wintermaul
shopping maul
gem td
sprout td
evee td
mafa
artifact td
vampirism (kinda td/rts)

there's just too many to name and I can't remember anything from that long ago XD
