Both CD keys are on the jewel case, and you may want to copy them somewhere safe, since they are required to install the games (even if you never play online). The front insert says “Warcraft Battle Chest” and has Reign of Chaos artwork, the rear insert has the The Frozen Throne artwork. Note:The disks are compatible with Windows and Macintosh, but I was only able to test the Windows versions.Įach game comes on its own CD, but instead of individual jewel cases, Blizzard opted for a single 2-CD case. Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (Expansion Pack)Īlthough technically, this is just a single game + expansion, and out of the box, you need Reign of Chaos installed to play The Frozen Throne, the expansion does provide full-length campaigns, as well as some new features, so it’s not far-fetched to view it as a 2-game series.Like with the StarCraft Battle Chest, some copies came in a vertical box with a front flap, but these are far rarer. The box is of the same small format Blizzard used for most of its later “Battle Chests” – those of StarCraft, World of Warcraft and Diablo / Diablo II.
The collection is titled Warcraft Battle Chest, which is ambiguous with the earlier 1996 collection for Warcraft and Warcraft II.
