The Starcraft Saga

The Stacraft 2 Saga started over 12 years ago, in the end of March 1998 when Starcraft was released by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time the requirements to play the game were like this:
  • 16 MB RAM
  • Windows® 98
  • Pentium 90 or higher
  • 2X CD-ROM drive
I still remember the feeling me and my friends got when we first played it in multiplayer mode. Yet, after all those years Stacraft remains in my opinion the best real time strategy game. We use to play starcraft in internet cafe`s, spending nights after nights developing better tehniques for defeating the enemy.
Starcraft has 3 races, and the initial game of Stacraft had 30 missions divided among these three races  : Terran, Zerg and Protoss.
The story of Stacraft 2 began with Jim Reynor trying to save the terran collonies from extinction, then hatch a dark plan with the Zerg Overmind and finnaly lead the Protoss in battle for protecting their homelands - all these missions were included in the first release of the game.
It was time then for three new campaigns, new worlds and new units for each race as the Expansion Set - BroodWar was released in November 1998.
Since then almost 10 million copies of those games were sold all over the world.
