  Hrm, I went to see if I could get Kings Quest on Steam and I noticed that when I type it 'auto completes' to "King's Quest™ Collection" but no results shown .. was it here and removed .. or maybe it's coming?
  EDIT: OK - been on Steam for a while but "This item is currently unavailable in your region" .. wonder why.

  Oh my God, it's Dark Reign.
  Aussie RTS represent.
  I was so clueless about RTS in 1997 that I played it for about a year and a half before discovering you can scroll down in the build menu to reveal more advanced units.
  It was also my first online RTS experience on 56K. I was annihilated over and over again before I could say infantry rush.

  And what memorable units there were. A giant, hovering buzzsaw that mows down infantry, acid grenade-launching troops with jetpacks, a shockwave generator that launches a seismic tidal wave and a flying donut blimp thing that shoots green donut-shaped plasmas at targets.

  There was a lot of quirky uniqueness and personality in DK as well as its successor DK2 and it had concepts like differing terrain types affecting movement speed, customisable A.I. behaviour states and patrols (e.g. set a whole bunch of tanks to automatically search & destroy but specify they return to base to repair when at medium health), and true line of sight way before they were standard; like so many innovative and unique RTSs of the time they slipped under the radar due to the all-consuming hype around C&C, WarCraft, StarCraft, Total Annihilation et al.

  Highly recommend DK if you ever played KKND back in the day or other off-brand RTSs like Dune 2000, Earth 2140, Army Men II, Mech Commander, etc.
