Warcraft III (I don't know about I and II) was also for PPC (PowerPC / POWER). Why? Well, MacOS / Mac OS X was at some point PPC only. Apple did the conversion from m68k to PPC. Actually, for a while, it was quite tough to get these games working well on Mac Intel machines. Why? Well, the installer would only work on PPC. They didn't make it into a universal binary.

There's a similar problem with some older Windows games - the games are correct 32 bit applications and will run on modern Windows versions - but the installers are WIN16 and fail to load on Win64. Various tricks exist to get them installed and then migrated to run.
