  • This is gameplay footage from the original game "Starcraft" as it was released in 1984. My uncle worked as an assistant programmer for Blizzard/Activision in the early 80's. I found this in his closet next to an old Colecovision.

    This is obviously fake. The original StarCraft was released for the Sumerian Abacus in 2700 BC, and it's still one hell of a game.

      Nothing was overpowered. The game was perfectly balanced. If you don't know that then you never got deep enough into the game.

    That's actually a surprisingly good guess on how Starcraft would have looked in 1984 (on a Spectrum or Sharp computer)! Looks very authentic :)

    Good micro, bad macro

    • @JeremyGalloway
      @JeremyGalloway 5 років тому +13

      How is this good micro? He lost the tank. He lost the ghost. He lost the firebat. The battlecruiser was attacking the interceptors. All of this is terrible micro, which is why he lost all his units and had nothing to defend his base with.

  • @DaemonEX0

    So, a minimap with a grid like structure, wherein each grid corresponds with a single 2D plane.. That sounds like it could be pretty brilliant. Inspiring indeed. o:

    • @Bloodlyshiva
      @Bloodlyshiva 8 років тому +11

      +DaemonEX0 You'd need to automate things like resourcing and expanding(Which would be easier given each screen is it's own thing), but yeah. I can see it.
      Although....if you can't control what units target, and resourcing/expanding is semi-automatic, then much of the game is lost.
      The game would be more like the old game 'Mega-Lo-Mania'.

    This parody is brilliant. It looks like it could also be a fun game if it were available. What I would really love to see is a fan recreation of what StarCraft originally was going to look and play like. Basically, it was going to play and look like space version of WarCraft II, but I still want to see how it would play.
