It's ever so slightly not retro, but it's a massive pet super-obscure game of mine, so I might just throw it out. Primitive Wars. It's pretty much a straight dinosaur-themed Starcraft clone, but with a few twists. For factions, you get tech-savvy Stone Age humans with siege engines, humanoid dinosaur Tyranos who can disguise themselves as normal dinosaurs, as well as more classic fantasy magic-toting Elves and spooky Demons.

The game has only one resource, fruit which is similar to Starcraft minerals, but the maps are also full of neutral dinosaurs of all kinds, which your units can hunt to gain experience and collect meat that gradually heals them over time; some dinos are aggressive and can pose a threat to your armies traversing the map. Your units can gain experience from hunting dinos and killing enemy units, and gain levels that increase their stats, and Elven units even learn new spells as they advance in levels.

The game looks and plays a bit cheap, especially the weak campaigns, and is as far from an AAA title as can be, but it's still a nice little Starcraft clone with some unique ideas that can be loads of fun to play in melee or multiplayer (if you can find anyone to play with, that is, the game is extremely obscure as far as I am concerned).
