StarCraft Turns 10 Years Old


Blizzard: StarCraft Turns Ten Years Old Today

The Boys and Girls at Kotaku have done a short piece on this and it is worth note; It is not often a game manages to survive for ten years.
Never got into StarCraft myself; but the game has been a landmark in the world of gaming for a very long time and I am happy it has recieved the honor of ten years.

Quote:
On March 31, 1998, Blizzard shipped the epic orcs in space real-time strategy classic, selling 1.5 million copies in its first year, ultimately reaching 9.5 million copies sold. I still remember internally debating which box style to buy—I went with the Protoss—and the thrill of competing in ranked Ladder matches. While the game took a toll on my academic performance, it has provided me and countless others with hundreds of hours of solid gameplay.

well now that's hard to believe. Especially since I remember getting juice up about this. Pentium 120Mhz FTW!

good god I remember when it was a big deal that we got zip drives. Remember those things? I hated them. IT was big deal too when we got 1mb hard drives, lol. I still remember having a tape version of oregon trail in our middle school and it was a huge thing when we got the 5 1/4in floppys.

10 years and still going strong! It'll finally start to die I think when SC2 comes out, but it'll be like HL2 vs HL1 (counter-strike). there will always be die-hard sc gamers.

SC is probably one of the best games i've ever played (well, multi-player.. BIG TIME) and I still play it from time to time.

Awesome stuff. Still a freaking great game even if you're used to todays high-res stuff.

-- edit.

Oh, and Battle-Net is still being updated...same with SC! One of the last times I played I had to get another patch for the game... it's been out for ten years! I think that's pretty awesome as well... how many game companies support their stuff for ten years like this?
