Anyone for Starcraft?

Thought I'd start a new thread to more easily see who wants to play some original Starcraft w/ or w/o Broodwars, either one.

I picked up a new copy the other day at Wally-World for $20 since I couldn't find my original CD key.

If you want to play probably the easiest thing to do would be to contact me via Yahoo Messenger at "thesilentsentinel", or if you don't have Yahoo respond here.

Hope to get some games going!

I'll be home from work after 5-6pm EST and can play pretty much anytime after then - I'll get in Vent around then in the RTS channel and will be on Yahoo/checking the forums - if you guys are up for it let's rock!

I convinced one of my friends to pick up a copy for his Mac so he'll probably be wanting to play tonight too.

Long live Starcraft!

Works fine for me on vista and XP (with the 114 patch - the newest one) - though every once in a while I get graphical issues with it in Vista - not sure why really as it only happens to me every now and again.

Played the hell out of it this past weekend with my two friends that came over. Love it when games last more than three hours!

-- I have original install disks from when the game first came out. still work fine for me.

whenever i play it the colors spaz out sometimes but if i alt tab out and come back in its fixed. I downloaded mine through their online downloader.

@ duke if you make an account with blizzard and go to "My Account" you get this screen:

and when you click "Add a Game" you get this:

which I assume lets you enter your cd key and download it through Blizzard. idk if you can though

that'd be sweet. I'll just have to make sure I always have my cd keys!
