Starcraft introduced the bedrock RTS foundation of three dissimilar antagonists each functioning in different ways, each with its own unique blend of strengths, weaknesses, tactics and weapons. Many will say it’s the same venerable game process of each species collecting resources and building fighting units like all the rest. Yes, many will say it’s simply a good RTS (Real Time Strategy) game that mimics the Warhammer 40K environment with the UED Dominium, Protoss and Zerg substituting for the Imperium of Man, Eldar and Orcs (well, Orcs and the insectoid Zerg are a bit of a stretch, but still). Starcraft is more of a passion or profession in the realm of computer gaming.
Why all the fuss? Because Starcraft is not a game. This is the original 1998 game Starcraft and its official Blizzard expansion (there were two others not produced by Blizzard) Brood War, completely retooled to look like a modern day release with the graphics to match. Now Blizzard uses same phrase to market its latest release, Starcarft Remastered, which warped in from hyperspace on August 14th, 2017. “H ell, it’s about time,” rumbled from the cigar chewing mouth of ex-con and former marine Tychus Findlay when Blizzard Entertainment introduced Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty seven years ago.
