Starcraft

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Blizzard

Real-time strategy game. Closely associated with the WarCraft series, this game is instead set in space. There are three races to play, the Terrans (humans), Zerg (mutants) and Protoss (a highly intelligent species). Each have their own philosophy and unit-types

The game consists of tactical combat, resource management and technological development (through research). Missions objectives include performing rescues, infiltrating enemy bases or surviving an attack for a set length of time

The main single-player game is campaign mode, with missions that require you to master each of the races. There are also missions for single- or multi-player games (for up to eight players over LAN or Net). The game features a comprehensive campaign editor.

The game also employs easy-to-use menus and there is a new waypoint system. The game is played on a basically 2D landscape. However, elevation is taken into account, making the terrain more 3D in practice.
