So what is this Starcraft game then? Only the biggest selling PC game of '98! It combines complex tactical and strategic elements with an intriguing plot and a sense of humour. It is possibly one of the best games seen on the PC and is definitely the best in its genre.
For those who aren't familiar with this type of game, Starcraft is an example of real time strategy, where difficult decisions have to be made immediately or else all is lost. Other games such as Command and Conquer and Warcraft are on the market and are also worth a look. However, Starcraft comes out on top of all these games and definitely gains my recommendation of a purchase.
Hopefully you'll be able to glean a feel of what Starcraft is about from this site. If you want to know more I suggest you check out the Blizzard site and see what they have to say.
The best way to play Starcraft is multiplayer. You can play against other people either over a direct connection, a network or over the internet. In fact, Blizzard's Battle.net has worldwide leagues and tournaments.
We intend to run a section on this page detailing help and advice for the practical side of mulitplayer gaming, so if you have any questions then please send them to us and we'll try to answer them. We may also put them on this page to help others (with your name removed of course).
Finally, we're also starting to prepare a manual of sorts to help people use the Campaign Editor. This editor is powerful but quite daunting at first and the online help is perhaps a little brief. Keep checking back here for more information.
