[edit] How to unlock these missions

Hey, I think it's pretty important to actually say (preferably in the intro) how to activate these hidden missions; when I clicked on the link to go to "StarCraft Hidden Missions", I kind of assumed that it would include how to get these hidden missions. Comrade^4·2 15:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

The article currently says that it requires MPQ (whatever that is) viewing software and an old edition of StarCraft. However, somebody must have them available for download somewhere… I'll go look. –Wulf 20:15, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Found 'em! You can download them both from Starcraft.org. –Wulf 20:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Other Missions

Should the article also mention the two other "hidden" missions? Granted, the hidden tutorials (one each for Protoss and Zerg, respectively) aren't really notable, but shouldn't these be mentioned as well? The Protoss tutorial isn't really that different from the inital Protoss campaign mission -- "First Strike" -- what with a slightly different map, some additional speech and less Zerg foes, so it is in a way already present in the retail campaign. The Zerg tutorial is barely playable, though, with neither triggers nor sounds nor resources and only one player controllable marine. Still, these missions are 1) hidden missions, and 2) created by Blizzard, so shouldn't these be at least mentioned? (For those interested in old skool RTS, there's an expanded Precursor Campaign doing the rounds, expanded with all the 4 hidden missons in addition to the full 6 mission Precursor campaign from Blizzard, 10 missions all in all. For laughs, the last mission in the campaign is a cleverly embellished version of the Zerg Tutorial. It's funny as heck. Check it out, if you're interested.) --Tirolion 08:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
