...boys playing video games]. StarCraft is in the same vein as “Command & Conquer”, or “Total Annihilation”. This genre is referred to as “Real Time Strategy”. You have total control over your forces. There are three main things to do in these games: Harvest, Build and Destroy. Harvesting means acquiring resources so you can Build. Building your forces up enough in turn allows you to finally Destroy whatever needs destroying. Simple really, but strategy ...
...the strategy bit abridged. StarCraft has two main modes of play: Single Player and Multiplayer. In Single Player, you go on a campaign in a galaxy far far away with each race. These races are Terran, Zerg and Protoss. Naturally these names mean nothing to you, so I best explain. Each race - regardless of name - always has a central node to their base where minerals are gathered. They not only take in the two types of minerals: Crystals and Gas, ...

...ancient Warcraft 2, Blizzard Software's Starcraft is a real-time strategy game that adheres to a familiar formula but at the same time remains hugely inventive and engaging. The game borrows heavily from the universes of Aliens, Predator and Warhammer 40,000, allowing you to choose to play as one of three races, namely the Terrans (humans), the Protoss or the Zerg. Each race has its own unique range of units that work in different ways, affording ...
...ropiest of connections. Starcraft has near-limitless longevity, and it even comes with an easy-to-use level and campaign designer bundled in as well. Blizzard have been working on a sequel for some time now, but however good this turns out to be the original will still remain a hugely playable RTS classic in its own right. Summary: One of the best RTS games ever made ...

...the difference between each on starcraft is immense. Other than the obvious visual look (Terrans are mechanical, Protoss technological and Zerg organic), each race has completely different units and strategies that can be employed. Many things are different, from how unit limits are determined to how construction takes place. I will outline many of the differences below (though you'll probably want to look somewhere else to find out all of them). ...
...buildings, this unit needs to be present during the entire building operation. Unit limits are determined by the number of supply depots you use. Building can take place anywhere. Unit production and toughness is medium, quicker but weaker than Protoss, but slower and more powerful than Zerg. Many major buildings can actually be moved, this is great if an area is likely to be completely destroyed as you can minimise loss. Overall this is a balanced ...

I got Starcraft a long time ago, played it and then for some reason left it before i completed it. I have recently found it on my shelf and thought to myself: "What the hell, I remember this game being something like starship troopers hmmm sounds cool lets play!" And that thought is true the game acts like the film starship troopers. Their are 3 races, human marines, zerg aliens and protosss advanced humanoids. Each race has a different difficulty ...

Starcraft is still one of the most popular games online. It offers 3 highly distinct races and possibly the most involving stories yet seen in real time strategy gaming. It may look a bit old nowadays (with the 640x480 resolutions) but on the other hand it will run like a dream if you're still hanging on to your old P90 system. Starcraft has made such an affect on strategy games players, that even the latest of strategy games are often compared ...
...a type of play in Starcraft that is compelling and something you will want to go back to again and again. The Battlenet online option always gives you access to an online community that will be ready to challenge you, and this service is still going very strong. Patches, as of this time are also still being released for the game, and Blizzard (possible one of the best games developers alongside ID) are still strongly supporting their product and ...

I like strategy games and star Craft is one of my best games. One of my friends had the game and i really enjoyed it is one of those games were you can play on it for hours. The reson why i like it a lot is because you can play mulitplayer and you can make your own map. I brought this game about 2 years ago and i still can not stop playing on it. This game is rated 15 and should not be played by people below 15. over all i think this is a great game. ...

Although not the best game of all time, this game is the best of its type on the market. When I first played this game I didn't think much of it it was pretty run of the mill stuff, third or fourth level in my opinion changed, The mission involved surviving thirty minutes agaisnt alian swarms until the rescue team arrived All went pretty well the enemy wasn'nt too hard until the last 60 seconds Hundreds of Aliens swarmed through the only two entrances ...
...quit the mission to try again but at the lastmoment rescue ships swept down and the remnants of my troops escaped. That moment was when my conceptions of what a video game should be like changed forever. luckily the rest of the game continued on an even higher par. The game is set into three distinct chapters in which you play the three races involved. each has its on perspective on the story and its own strengths and weaknesses this makes for a ...

Starcraft is a good game with the style of command and conquer and dune 2000 and settlers and other games of that type. You are looking down from a sky view controling one of three species, the terran , the zerg or the protoss. There are Good sounds and good graphics and yet will run on a p200! There is about 13 levels for each species and some can take up to 3-5 hours to complete... The game come with a good story line and there are a lot of buildings, ...

I had played Warcraft 2 for some time and eagerly looked forward to the release of this game when plans for it were originally announced - I have to admit being a fan of this genre. That aside, I have had the game ever since it has been released and now, nearly 2 years on, still play it occasionally - now that shows the longevity of the game. OK, to basics. Basically the plot line is that an alien race (that funnily enough seem to look like Aliens ...

Now you can be Humans, Zerg (the aliens) or Protoss (a kind of space elf with high levels of technology) in the main 'campaigns' or play individual scenarios. The game recommends that you start with the humans, work through the zerg and then onto the protoss as this follows the unfolding scenario of the game. However you can choose ...

Starcraft is the best strategy game since Warcraft III was released last year. It centers on the battle that rages around the universe including the races of Terrans or Humans, the Zerg or the rampaging alien horde and the Protoss a very chivalric alien race. The story goes as this: the Terrans or Humans were sent from Earth to colonise a planet many light years away. Their ships go haywire and the inhabitants, whom are all the detritis of human ...

The Zerg are a race of aliens that go through the universe either assimilating any races that they need in their gene pool or destroying any that are not worthy. They come across the Terrans and begin to attack them. However the Protoss see what is going on and begin to defend the Terrans as they ...

Involves three sets of people to control including humans, aliens and genetically created aliens.

I bought starcraft and was astounded by the wealth of diferent buildings and weapons the game had to offer,not to mention the wide variety of different ways youcan play multiplay. One nice feature i think is the inclusion of the SPAWN feature which lets you play with a friend on a LAN or NULL MODEM connection with only one cd. In the game you have the choice of three races the Terran,Zerg, and Protoss. The terran of course is the first set of campaign ...
