I find myself constantly trying to queue building construction, only to remember I can't in this game. Micromanaging my workers to start harvesting resources is painfully slow.
Control groups, capped at 12 units, feel tiny. Going back to Brood War, I sorely miss those same changes to SC2 that aggrieve top players. There's resurging interest in the original game among pro players and casters as a result. It's more accessible for casual fans (like me), but high-level players have long expressed frustration that the sequels automate too much of Brood War's hands-on design. "Quality of life" improvements, like better hotkeys and user interface options, made SC2 a fundamentally different experience than the first game and its expansion. Part of the StarCraft competitive scene is in the same boat, albeit for different reasons. It certainly made more of an impression than the nonsensical science-fantasy soup that the series became across the StarCraft 2 trilogy. Maybe it's because I was eight years old at the time, but the campaign's dark, sometimes comedic, sometimes horrific tale of space rednecks fighting giant bugs and psychic plant people has stuck with me like few games of the era. I'll admit that this latest excuse to play the original StarCraft and its expansion, Brood War, appealed to me. (Which, even if you somehow avoided buying a Battle Chest compilation for nearly 20 years, is now free in its unaltered form.)

There is a method to Blizzard’s madness though the free version comes before a twentieth anniversary HD re-master and re-release.Blizzard Entertainment reader comments 48 with 20 years later I was overjoyed at the announcement that I could now download it for free on all of my PCs. Having been a huge fan of the Warcraft game series, I remember waiting in line at my local game shop feverishly waiting to get my hands on Starcraft. Starcraft‘s only peers in this regard may be other Blizzard titles like World of Warcraft and Diablo III. In a time where game sequels and season passes rule, the classic game still holds up and brings as much joy to gamers as it did in 1997. Starcraft may be the one game that has survived every upheaval in the gaming industry and kept a solid player base for the longest period time. The fact that this is exciting to gamers is a testament to the popularity and love that people have for a title that has existed for a generation. If you have never played Blizzard entertainment’s legendary video game Starcraft, your time has arrived! On April 18th Blizzard decided to make the now 20-year-old game and the DLC Brood War available for free on its website.
