Found this video from youtube. Pretty hilarious =D
"This is gameplay footage from the original game "Starcraft" as it was released in 1984. My uncle worked as an assistant programmer for Blizzard/Activision in the early 80's. I found this in his closet next to an old Colecovision."
Unfortunately there was one geocites website that contained a detailed report on the changes with many pictures from alpha to beta, its dead now though T__T.
Obvious fake, which I would've found amusing had the author of the video not bullshitted about his "uncle" working for Blizzard back in the 80's when Blizzard didn't even exist until 1991 (under Silicon and Synapse). Instead I was just annoyed.

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously Edit: Especially if you watch the end of the video
Aaaah this was such a sweet game. No mouse selection, command line based orders. This was the real thing, not the noob game '98 starcraft came out to be.

You propably just say so becouse this fake video reminds you of your own micro/macro mechanics.
If it was said that it was a funny parody movie n shit I would have found it very funny, but the introduction was too bs to find it any interesting, I must vomit.

so?
Don't worry about this guy, some people just don't know how to relax, is like those people who watch a movie, only to nitpick it and say stuff like "in the 80's noone wore that, or that font wasn't invented then, wtf is wrong with this movie"
Hahahaha I love how this completely out-hardcores all those players who complain about mechanics such as MBS in SC2, claiming the difficulty of the interface was part of the game of BW.
Try using command lines each time you need one (1) unit to move
