StarCraft (SC) is a real-time strategy computer game by Blizzard Entertainment. Introduced in 1998, it was the best-selling computer game in that year and won the Origins Award for Best Strategy Computer Game of 1998. Blizzard estimated in 2005 that 9 million copies of StarCraft and Starcraft: Brood War had been sold since its release, and it has achieved an international cult-like status in the computer gaming world, especially in its online multiplayer form.

Although in a science fiction setting, StarCraft is broadly similar to Blizzard's popular game Warcraft II. Developers tried greatly to steer the game away from being "Warcraft in Space," eventually rewriting the entire game engine. The game's main storyline follows a war among three galactic species: the human Terrans, the hive mind-sharing insectoid Zerg, and the psychic humanoid Protoss warriors. It was initially released for the PC as a hybrid Mac and Windows CD and as a Nintendo 64 cartridge. Read More...

Quotes

I used to think that defeating the Zerg would take precise military maneuvers, clever tactics and strong leadership. I was wrong. You can't out-think the swarm, you can't out-maneuver the swarm, and you certainly can't break the morale of the swarm. I hate to admit this, but I could do my job just as well if I ordered all my men to simply shoot anything that moves.

-Colonel Ronald "Hardcore" Jackson (from the StarCraft Map of the Week Crossfire, January 7, 2000)
