Game review It is a rare case of a game remaining relevant and popular in its original form many years after publication.

Although in a science fiction setting, StarCraft is broadly similar to Blizzard's popular game Warcraft II. Due to criticism of early development versions, Blizzard tried to steer the game away from being seen as "Warcraft in Space," eventually rewriting the entire game engine. The game's main storyline follows a war amongst three galactic species: the strong, stable human Terrans, the hive mind-sharing insectoid Zerg, and the psychic humanoid Protoss warriors. It was initially released for the PC platform in 1998, with a Macintosh version of the game being released in 1999. Starcraft was also later ported to the Nintendo 64.

Though a best-seller all over the world, the game is especially popular in South Korea, with nationally recognized tournaments, training groups, professional players, teams, and televised cable-access competitions that often broadcast live tournaments.
