StarCraft

StarCraft is a real-time strategy game set in a distant sector of the Milky Way galaxy in the 26th century. Players command one of three species across separate campaigns: the Terrans, resourceful human colonists cut off from Earth, the Zerg, an insectoid swarm that assimilates other species, and the Protoss, a technologically advanced race with powerful psionic abilities. Each species features distinct units, structures and strategic options. The game includes a story-driven single-player campaign for each faction and competitive multiplayer via Battle.net. You gather minerals and vespene gas, build a base and train an army, and each species plays differently. Campaign missions vary from destroying an enemy base to defending or escorting units. The Brood War expansion adds three more single-player campaigns with new units for each species and new multiplayer maps. The game also includes a map editor for making custom maps. Each species has its own buildings and technology, so the three play very differently.
