Product Information
Starcraft, the highly anticipated
real-time strategy game,
Starcraft is the one of Blizzard Entertainment's
biggest product launch ever.
In the distant future, a small group of human exiles have been doomed
to fight for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength,
espionage, and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy
peace, but as resources and fuel run short the Confederate nations find
themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the
enigmatic Protoss. To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously
unknown species-- the Zerg-- have entered Protoss space and are destroying
everything in their path. The time for war has come.
Real-time strategy goes to new levels as three intergalactic species
fight for survival. Control the vagabond Terrans, enigmatic Protoss, or
the bloodthirsty Zerg as they wage war on the edge of the galaxy. Includes
support for Internet play over Battle.net, Blizzard's on-line gaming service.
As commander of the Terrans, Protoss or Zerg species, players head on
a collision course for galactic domination. While battling in space, on
planetary surfaces and within installations, players face 30 do-or-die
