I know Herzog Zwei is kind of famous, but I also dicked around once with the original MSX Herzog, which was set up where there's a split screen with a single linear path, and you spawn units at the bottom that start walking up the screen to your opponent. You can pick them up and drop them further ahead to try to bunchup units or leapfrog defenses and stuff. I remember there was a really expensive ICBM weapon that very slowly moves offscreen on the minimap but once it reaches the enemy base it's an instawin.

Think it's kind of neat that it's produced it's more open free-form sequel, arguably the first game in the RTS genre, that eventually birthed the MOBA genre, that brought back AI units on lanes and controlling a single super unit.
