Started the day starcraft came out. Then quit forever

Then came back a year ago to be the worst BW player of all time! hooray for me!


You began playing starcraft when you were 9? Oh well.

I started when it came out (a friend was a betatester), switching from the occasional play of WC2 on LAN.

So.. began at 19. Now almost older than dirt. Haven't played much in the last 5 years, I also switched and played CS competitively for a few years.


Yeah, I was 9. I was really into computer games, and I was playing on my IBM aptiva with its trusty 4GB hard drive and 14 inch screen. Good times.


not to mention.... 28.8 kbps dialup connection to b.net or even dialing into a friends phone(direct connect)?? lol! I'd agree, good times... I too started when I was 10 and have bought the game 3 times since then. the first two times i had to throw it away because uninstalling it wasn't cutting it... too addicted, now i finally have the beast under control ;D


Haha i had to buy the game multiple times as well, not for throwing it away though. I had to rebuy it for losing the CD before cd cracks came out, or when I would lose the Cd CASE and not have my cd-key for reinstalling... etc. Lol, I remember when it first came out it was so expensive. It was somewhere between 40-60 if I remember, and while that's average nowadays, back then computer games on average cost 20 bucks... I was shocked.

How did you guys who started that early get into contact with broodwar. It isn't really the type of game you nag your parents about to get at that age I'd wager?


My step dad and my uncle both played it. So yeah.. lol I kinda just ended up with it.

Before StarCraft, I played WarCraft II at 6 years old :o
If only I put effort into playing decently back then, I wonder how well I'd be able to play now compared to the way I actually play now. lol

First played at age 12, played single player for maybe a year or two and quit for a while. Started playing seriously when I was about 17 and here I am still playing at 21.

You kidding? Starcraft had huge hype. Blizzard was already big back in the day. I played Warcraft I and Diablo over 28.8 dialup with my friends (it was painful). My parents always got pissed that I was tying up the phone line.

23, I've been playing computer games since I was 5-6 years old, games like Beer Tapper, Prince of Persia, Raptor, Dune 1(yep, the quest/adventure game) and others, that I've forgotten the names of... the first blizzard game I've played was the lost vikings, next was WC1, when I was 9 and it's the reason I've liked RTS games ever since... obviously I didn't miss WC2 and SC

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis

- the youth will always mock age but unfortunately for all of us the only way to escape old age is death. I personally always see healthy older people as lucky bastards, they actually made it to their age. I know all to well there is no guarantee any of us will.

- 43 representing! still feeling great : )

17, owned it for a year now.

Before that I remember playing this sweet game with Aliens and robots all the time at a family friends' house.

It was Starcraft! I was zerg from the start.

Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984

looks like 20 is the mean.

im glad there are still games that target older people primarily, while there is a plethora of games for kids.
