Bitter sweet because I’m pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP
It’s church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.
The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.
There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn’t bother looking for it for the pic.
I owned that same Starcraft copy with the protoss on it. I remember what mall I bought the expansion at too.
Multiplayer over a 56k modem.
It was a simpler time.
Our lives were for Aiur, and so we built additional pylons.
Photon canons and patience until I roll across the map with maxed out carriers
Unrelated to StarCraft, but this triggered a memory from my childhood that I had to go research to figure out what the hell it was, so I thought I’d share.
I got to play StarCraft at a friends house, never owned it until I had a job and bought my own copy of SC2, my version of ‘StarCraft at home’ was “Battle Realms” if I got the game right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHP3xUZ6ifc&t=2793s
I’m pretty sure the Lotus Clan had some corrupting/stealing mechanic that I abused, where I could take over enemy buildings and make my own version of their units. I remember turtling against the CPU players as being incredibly satisfying when I swept over them with their own units.
Might just be every RTS game where you can abuse economy in general when facing CPU players, but rolling across the map is always fun.
