Man, that Battle for Middle Earth story hits me right in the heart. I'm the exact same, played both of those games for so many years and they were a huge reason why I grew to love RTS games. I actually have the entire CD collection of 1, 2, and Rise of the Witch King... except Disc 1 of each. Yeah, they got lost in a move, garage sale, some fucking thing or another. Whatever it was, I could never find them and have accepted they don't exist anymore. So, I can't play them. All I can do is hope that one day, someone with more money, talent, or knowledge than me makes them available again somewhere.
