ruffedgz Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just found out from a Gamespot article that the original Starcraft game is now free with the latest patch they release. This is not the same as the remastered version they announced a few days ago but this is to probably help with those who are excited for that release. Starcraft Remastered site - https://starcraft.com/en-us/ Gamespot article about the patch and free game - https://www.gamespot.com/articles/starcraft-goes-free-today-with-new-patch-its-first/1100-6449431/ Download for PC - https://battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?os=WIN&version=LIVE&gameProgram=STARCRAFT Download for MAC - https://battle.net/download/getInstallerForGame?os=MAC&version=LIVE&gameProgram=STARCRAFT I downloaded it and how to enjoy some LAN parties in the future. Enjoy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Nice, this was one of my favourite PC games as a kid. Does it come with the Brood War expansion pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav9834 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 This is one of the best gaming news I've heard ever. I still have my original 20+ yr old copy and license on cd, but this is wayyy easier! Mmmm now I just need age of empires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I mistakenly thought "StarCraft" was that game that people said you should play instead of No Man's Sky but that was apparently something else (though still, play it instead of NMS could be a valid opinion). This looks like RTS... I never played much of that genre, a little bit of the Tiberian and RA series... Is this easy to get into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I kept it even though my current computer can't play them. 18 minutes ago, BillyHorrible said: I mistakenly thought "StarCraft" was that game that people said you should play instead of No Man's Sky but that was apparently something else (though still, play it instead of NMS could be a valid opinion).

Yeah it's easy to get into, just be sure to listen to the mission briefings between missions. I played Tiberian Sun too, that one and StarCraft are probably the games I've played the most on the PC.

I'm not much of a PC gamer, and now thanks to my smartphone I often go for weeks without booting up my laptop... I haven't even logged into Steam since more than half a year ago (when I went on my summer holiday and deleted all password memories). 1 minute ago, Dragon-Archon said: Yeah it's easy to get into, just be sure to listen to the mission briefings between missions.

I don't know what I played the most on PC but the GTAs are probably a good guess, had to downgrade the options in San Andreas to make it playable and then just decided to get an X360 next to my Wii for GTA IV. I have also played a lot of classic point and click games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Used to love this game, heck loved all those old school RTS games. Shocked though.. even this is going thru a "remaster" phase.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
