8-bit Starcraft

Ойындар

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.

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'.
