My first computer games i can remember was, Doom 2, War2, Heroes might and magic 2, and then came starcraft. It took 6 minutes to just enter the game:O. Now i have played it for the last 7 years, with breaks sometimes, played wow "which sucks big time". Hope Starcraft 2 will be as good as SC 2. People need to wait for SC 2 to develope. Same as it did for Starcraft / BW | ||

I still curse myself for throwing out the box years ago. I wish I had kept it then. If I recall, at the time I bought it there were three versions available, I chose the Protoss box cuz I thought it looked cool. There was also two blizzard memo pads included (also thrown out, curses!!). However, I'm glad I kept the original starcraft and broodwar cd discs after all these years. They're a little scratched up but still playable, 10+ years later! The vast majority of sc players that I knew back then were college age (18-21), they would be in their early 30's by now. I wonder if they're still interested in sc2 and if they have time to play it (most of them have families now). | ||

When I noticed the WC2 battle chest next time I went to Sam's I couldn't resist; at first I was just playing WC2, but I soon discovered how great Starcraft was, even though I didn't know anything about it at first, partially because I was 9 years old. This was in 1999, and SC has been an interest ever since.(somewhat on the backburner during my WoW years, but still present) Edit: cleaned up grammar and flow heh, I first got into RTS with Warcraft 1 and a demo disk as well. It was from MacAddict, though. I never bought the game though, cause I was too young and had no cash. I played the Warcraft 1 demo through like 50 times... about 2 years later I got the Battle Chest and started playing War 2 on Kali. Good times... | ||

I just remember my friends and I playing against people in 2v2, and 3v3 and massing Carriers/Battlecruisers/Gaurdian/Devourer. We'd always kill our opponents then unally and start killing each other before going into allied victory. | ||

EDIT: i was 5 when the game was announced, didnt start playing SC or BW till about age 12 it would be interesting to hear from someone who was old enough to do the midnight SC1 release.... or can tell us if it even existed back then? anyone? | ||

I clearly remember that we were so proud to have a game that was released the same year that we got it, I think we got it around Novermber Brood War came much faster. I had an acquaintance among the guys who imported pirated CDs from Russia, so I was among the first in my country to get a copy. Damn, the game was hard, I was already struggling with the second zerg mission :D I didn't realise that the multiplayer can be so exciting until the final exams in high school. We stayed after the informatics exam in the computer class to play Need for Speed, because at the time it was one of the very few places where we could get so many networked PCs. Then the guy who worked there as the network administrator offered us to play Starcraft instead, 1v7 :D I couldn't believe he was serious, but he went on to easily own all of us with a bunch of carriers. I still didn't start to play it competitively until a couple of years later. Counter-strike was the shit those days and everyone was playing it. One day we were in a PC bang and got bored of playing CS, so we decided to try something else. Starcraft happened to be one of the few other games installed on the PCs there, and we gave it a go. After one game, my friends went back to CS, but I was hooked Then I met other people in the university who were into SC, and we have spent countless hours in the nearby PC bang playing it, instead of attending Kyrgyz language lectures :D | ||
