What are the funnest retro computer games that use a mouse as the primary control method (e.g., a character follows a path to where you click on).

Does House of the Dead count?

Warcraft II or Starcraft are fun.

Such a great game. I used to play it with Slayers album God Hates Us All in the disk drive. It fits so perfect.

A lot of win 95 games use mouse only (or mostly) such as the Exile series. Fallout 1 & 2.

This. It can be surprisingly harrowing. You get strangely attached to your little troops, each one being individually named. When they're KIA, the next time you're in the pre-mission screen there's an extra tombstone on the hill as more fresh recruits walk down the path and line up to take their place.

Sometimes you won't straight up kill an enemy soldier and they will lie there in their death throes, bleeding out in pain. Will you put them out of their misery?

That game is amazing too, but I was actually talking about the original game on PC98. Action rpg where you lead an army of cats, and your main character is continuously moving towards the cursor. Even when you're trying to talk to npcs.
It's a blast.

Hammerfight
Initially developed in '99 under a different name - Hammerfall, got sued and died down for a few years.
Got graphically reworked and leaked as a 90% finished beta in 2002
Released on CDs in 2004 in very limited quantities.
Released on Steam in 2009.
Forgotten by everyone outside Russia because it was made by one crazy russian with an idea that he could make a kinetic physics-based action that would make youfeel as if you are physically holding a large ball on a chain (he did).

Said to require P3 and 256 megs of RAM but can run on P2 400 Mhz as well - that's how I played the leaked beta back then

I played the shit out of this game, first time I've seen it mentioned on 4chan. It's fucking awesome to swing with a massive hammer, and the weird storyline is good too.

Oh well, back in the day when developers weren't just an anonymous small cog in the wheel of a huge team but rather had enough time at their hand to make silly intro videos.
