I'm a big fan of StarCraft (PC) myself and I would like to know if any of you tried it, and what's your opinion on it.

It isn't bad, though I couldn't try it multiplayer (too lazy). It has nice sprites and he put some time into it.

He said he'll implement a Protoss AI in the next release, I look forward to that. I still have my eyes out on that StarCraft 89 over at CalcGames.org. That will be the KILLER game for the 68k's, provided it will ever be completed. :)smile.gif

Digital on calcgames i believe already has sprites and everything ready.  I believe he is looking for a TIGCC programmer to actually start coding.  But that's what I heard like 2 months ago.  I haven't checked how its progressing.

Oh, so you are just organizing?

huh? no not me.  I once talked to some of the guys working on the project and that's about all they mentioned really.  I've never played starcraft before, but I assume it must resemble warcraft.  I liked warcraft so starcraft must be good  :thumb:thumb.gif

SC 68k was made by digital on CG, but last time I checked DIgital retired from CG admin position and I dunno if he also dropped the project as well

StarCraft 68k is a C program. I truly look forward to it. Consistent effort was already put into that project, and they made some spectacular grayscale conversions of game sprites, it would be a pity to see it go to waste.

Anywho a search on ticalc.org indicated that there are quite a few StarCraft ASM games for the 83+. Are those any good?

I meant the original computer game.

The original computer game is as good as strategy games can get. Besides, BattleNet and all those scripted fan-made maps keep the game fun even 8 years after its original release!

My bro got the battle chest for $25 I think 2 years ago and I got warcraft II+expansion for $12 last year and warcraft III+expansion for $30

pretty cheap but still incredibly awesome classics

I never got into WarCraft, I played some pirated WC2 but it just couldn't hold water to StarCraft. WarCraft III pissed me off, as did World of WarCraft, because they marked the days when Blizzard gave the StarCraft franchise the boot. :(sad.gif I did however get into Dune II for the Sega Genesis - now that's a classic!
