My 1st copy was a demo on a blank writable CD that my elementary school's principal sold me for like 3 USD. No cover, not even a CD case, it came in a flimsy ass white CD sleeve with a screen.

+ Show Spoiler +

I didn't even know I had bought a demo. As I recall the principal didn't bother to tell me that. Anyway, ourr Pentium90 couldn't play it cuz it had a 4-speed CD-ROM drive and that was the first time I cried in 2 years. I felt robbed of my money and it was a huge hype killer, cuz it wasn't that long ago since I had finally completed WC2.

Luckily enough I was allowed to play it on my brother's P266 with a 16 speed. I felt bummed out when the game crashed somewhere halfway in of the first Kerrigan level. When BW came out my brother burned nilla and BW from his buddy and I could finally play all the missions. Then when we first got internet in 2000 I've used those CD-keys to play online. I've never owned an original physical copy of the game. Lmao

Pretty sure it was protoss. That's what I remember from radio shack or whatever store it was when I was a kid.

Edit: As for my personal copy, I had burned copy of vanilla with a cd-key and official broodwar cd (1.02? Or was it 1.03...). I thought the lurker art on it was so cool, haha.
