We have already reported that this week is the fifth anniversary for the launch of Blizzard's World of Warcraft MMO game.Now Blizzard is using this occasion to also celebrate the 15th anniversary of the game that really started it all for Blizzard; their original RTS game Warcraft.

To celebrate both anniversaries, Blizzard has launched a special web site that looks back at the game franchise that helped to launch the RTS genre as well as bring the MMO genre to new popularity heights. At the moment the site has a video documentary with a number of Blizzard team members talking about their favorite memories about Warcraft games. Blizzard plans to post up new interviews on the site with both Blizzard team members and community members talking about the franchise as well as a special version of the Blizzcast podcast.
