StarCraft
Brand New
Factory Sealed Retail Box
In the distant future, a small group of
human exiles have been doomed to fight for survival on the edge of the
galaxy. Through military strength, espionage, and deceit, a unified
Terran government has maintained an uneasy peace, but as resources and
fuel run short the Confederate nations find themselves looking towards
the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss. To
further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown species--
the Zerg-- have entered Protoss space and are destroying everything in
their path. The time for war has come.
Real-time strategy goes to new levels as three intergalactic species
fight for survival. Control the vagabond Terrans, enigmatic Protoss, or
the bloodthirsty Zerg as they wage war on the edge of the galaxy.
Includes support for Internet play over Battle.net, Blizzard's on-line
gaming service. As commander of the Terrans, Protoss or Zerg species,
players head on a collision course for galactic domination. While
battling in space, on planetary surfaces and within installations,
players face 30 do-or-die missions. With each mission, more of the epic
story of the universe unfolds.
"With Starcraft, Blizzard Entertainment continued tradition of offering
highly addictive and exciting real-time games, while creating new
worlds, experiences and technologies.
