Someone previously mentioned that some people still play Starcraft on the shareware. This got me curious so I downloaded, and installed the demo.

I was surprised that there are still like 10-15 people that still play Shareware. It seems like they are a tight nit community.

If you are curious, check this out?

I don't know but , I feel pretty sad about it. I wish I had CD keys to give to these guys.

I think some of them already know about it. One told me he uses the shareware to practice T vs. T? That still doesn't make sense since the shareware is on 1.08 I think.

Makes sense because shareware players can only play T so hardcore players of shareware must be TvT pros.

lol... I remember playing the shareware once. You can only pick T and play on one map, and it's on 1.08 so the costs of a bunch of things are different. Funny that people are still on that.

I played shareware for a year before buying BW lol

Shareware is actually on 1.01. There are so many bugs at that can be exploited (but considered cheating) such as CC sliding and flying scv that are pretty funny.

There have been many mods and hacks made for shareware so that you can play other maps, including UMS, and even as zerg.

lol you guys miss one of the main reasons for shareware people I think. I played shareware for a little while a few years back, they have some of the most INSANE mods on there. I can't even remember them all, but its basically like UMS on crack half the time. Marines that can fly, hydras that shoot reaver shots with tank range, its hilarious. It makes you wonder what boxer would do with those units.

They actually made a crazy mod that literally creates the entire Zerg race from what I am guessing is a completely modded Terran race or something? I remember it being funny because they couldn't mod the overlord movement properly so the ovies would twitch move instead of hover move, pretty entertaining. but yeah, it is a small interesting community :D

I think the modding is more dominant there because the creators of the software have free reign, Blizzard moderates that very little, hence why its 1.08, so they never have to patch their software and can keep making even more badass fixes. I wonder if they made the Protoss race modded yet? Been a few years, probably have it by now :D

With that said, ANYONE WANT TO PLAY SOME MODCRAFT?

lol. I lost my original, so i downloaded sc. They should get a pirated version of sc and play on iccup (at least). Works fine for me. hard to get on b.net though.

it feels like one of those bad movies where you find a caveman still alive in modern day, and hes scared by things like the tv and lawnmower.

the plot twist is when instead of being introduced into society he rejects humanity and lives out his days in his cave

dude i watched some of those national geographic youtube videos they had on that and they were incredibly interesting.

I didn't know they did such extensive testing on progamers attributing to brain function and whatnot.

I used to play shareware for the mods. Zerg was completely available with a mod, and there were crazy things like Long Range Mod where static defense and tanks had infinite range, and everything else had its range doubled.

Two years ago I decided not to bring starcraft to school (freshman year).. about halfway through I discovered the shareware demo, so I downloaded it. Theres actually an intro campaign mission that doesn't appear in the real game..

As far as multiplayer goes, you could only play terran on one blizzard map (a truly horrible map too, not even lost temple or hunters).. and if you downloaded some sort of hack you could play BGH and zerg, but if anyone joined the game without the hack the whole thing would crash..

Theres really no good reason to play this instead of the real one. I mean honestly what the fuck are these guys still doing... If they can afford internet they can afford $10 to buy the game
