Poll: StarCraft I

[Squid1361]

So I recently began playing StarCraft I, and I have to say, it is a VERY good RTS

Just curious, from around the Escapist, who else has played / is still playing this game

 

[delet]

I'm fairly new to the game though I do enjoy it when I play it. I've found I prefer Protos. Always gotta build more pylons...

 

[Marter]

I've never played it. I didn't have any interest in it when it first came out, and now that I have marginal interest, I can't find anywhere to buy it for a good price.

 

[Gauntes]

been playing since 99...
*hurk*

 

[Scumpernickle]

Awesome game, still love it, always will.

 

[Scde2]

One of my fave games of all time and probably the game where I wasted the most hours upon hours on.

 

[allinwonder]

Played it only because friends around me were all playing it. But I have never been into competitive RTS. I keep it on my harddrive just to watch high level Korean match replays though. That is exciting.

 

[Rauten]

I played it, and I intend to re-play the campaign when the SC2 beta goes down.

Also, my life for Aiur!

Don't know if you'd consider it a good price or not, but Blizzard sells both the original game and it's expansion, "Brood Wars" in a bundle for 15$, at their digital store.

No credit card means no online purchases for me I'm afraid. I also tend to prefer having a physical copy of a game as well, so the digital download copy would be something I'd buy as a last resort, so to speak.

Maybe I'll just wait for StarCraft II...

 

[Mcupobob]

I played a demo of it and it was okay, definitely a good R.T.S in its time and still a pretty good one to today but didn't feel like it was good enough to spend hours of looking for it at the nearest city or pulling out a credit card to get off the internet, if I see it around at a good price might consider getting it.

If you're considering to purchase the collector's edition, it comes with SC1+Brood Wars as part of the package. Sort of. (The package contains a USB drive, 2GB size, modeled after Jim Raynor's dog tags, and inside the USB is a brand new digital copy of the game, with an unsued CD-Key).

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Played it. Liked the single-player campaigns and thought the battle maps were okay, if a little underwheming. I always prefer single player campaigns in an RTS to multiplayer matches and the story is very good, even by current standards. The cutscenes left something to be desired though.

 

[Rewdalf]

Played it since before Broodwar.
Excellent game, especially with all of the custom maps that are STILL being made...
If you're not into it as an RTS, hit up battle.net and try out some of the user made games...

Not considering the collector's edition at all. I don't buy collector's editions unless I know that I'll like the game. This would be my first StarCraft game, so I have no reason to pay more for a special version.

 

[Signa]

I'm one of the two that voted No. I found no reason to play Starcraft after playing Total Annihilation.

 

[Casey Brienza]

Starcraft is one of the most awesome games ever. The AI is pretty dang good for its time, it has practically infinite replay value, plus it helped bring the entire genre of RTS into the mainstream. There's a reason that it's South Korea's frigging national sport.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Played it as long as it was out, though only a few years back have I tried it with the cheats off! (I was young)

 

[Flying-Emu]

Live for the Swarm.

Zergin' since '99.

 

[ethaninja]

Yes I love/d the game. One of my favourite RTS's. Matter of fact, I think I'm going to go play it now. (Have any of you noticed how similar it is to WH:40k? Terrans being Space Marines, Zerg being Tyranids and Protos being Eldar or something?
