    Starcraft Brood War.

    UMS was crazy with how many games people would make for it. Cat and mouse… zergbound… The craziest one I played was a Hyrule war map where everyone picked a race and held back a player controlled Ganon army while Link runs around completing actual dungeons and prepping for the final showdown. Anything and everything was in UMS.

      Yeah there were some awesome custom maps for that. The Battle for Helm’s Deep one was really cool too. Insane how well balanced that was. There were many times the Orcs (Zerg natch) broke through and we’d be fighting in the caves when Gandalf would show up.

      Even though they were obviously marines, zealots, zerglings, etc, I’d get into it and could imagine them all as human archers, elves, and orcs.

      I also liked to start games on “fastest possible map ever” and call it “7v1 comp stomp bsers welcome”. It would be a crazy game of diplomacy everyone BSing (back stabbing) each other as soon as the computer player was eliminated. Sometimes before. And of course someone stays allied but unchecks “allied victory” so everyone sitting on ridiculous amounts of resources (it was FPME) accusing each other, forming alliances, killing off a player suspected to be the one (based on nothing LOL) then finding out we didn’t get the right one. It was so hilarious.
