The Town of Odyssey

So I've recently acquired Starcraft - the first. And the expansion pack, but I haven't gotten past Terran mission because I've not much time to game.

Any thoughts on the game? I like the way you can do what you want, while simultaneously catching inside jokes that I've heard of from various others who have played it. >_>

You've made a good choice. I would certainly consider this one of the games most worth your time. I recently started playing the expansion levels again, because I never bothered to finish them, and I am every bit as entertained as I was while playing the far more visually stunning Age of Empires 3. I think what makes this game for me is how drastically different, and yet perfectly balanced the 3 races are. Nearly every other RTS on the market today provides you with a selection of cloned races or nations to play as with only different skins and the occasional "special unit" to create diversity.
I think you'll find as you get into the game that the storyline is really rewarding as well. I haven't found a more enjoyable RTS. Yay-rah for Starcraft 2.

EDIT: Oh yes, and if you haven't already done so, you simply must click on every unit several times. The talk-back you get can be quite entertaining while you wait for your SCVs to mine more minerals.

ive almost beaten brood war i think that ihave one mission left on brood war so far the story has been great oh yes the terran battle ships are awsome you have to have at lease 6 to be decent i tryed a cheat so that icould build my fleet i had 12 battle ships i destroyed 2 base before i loss one ship i destroyed 3 bases after that losing 4 ships than i sent them home for repairs oh if you dont know scvs can repaire any mechnical unit.

At the risk of... something, /me resurrects this thread as it's still on the first page and a new thread on the same subject doesn't seem quite warranted.

It's a great game: the best RTS I've seen yet, despite the fact that it's nearly ten years old. Not many games survive that long.

I prefer the Protoss race, and I'm sure I'd play much better with them once I improve on the finer points of unit micromanagement. And as for the campaigns, I'm on the 4th mission on Brood War. ^_^

Hm. Who here plays on battle.net?

I must disagree, the best RTS I have ever seen is Age of Mythology.

Nevaaaah! The best is the Command & Conquer series!!

Starcraft is fun, though.

Protossssss~.

I've gotten to mission 7? on terran, and I'm also doing various protoss missions. And I lose against the computer every time I play solo against it, but once I won on battle.net with the help of the computer.
we need to set up regular starcraft times for those who play on battle.net, but the number of those who do seems to dwindle. <_<.
