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.

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

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.

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

+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.

De-makes are popular these days, they got a whole Final Fantasy VII on NES, so you never know.
Christ this is amazing and i can't even begin to imagine how much time it must have taken to make this.Great job man.
The protoss player was Korean.... so the terran player was lost.
That was pretty cool! A well made animation for sure.
Just pure brilliance, thanks mate! Been playing SC/SC2 for over 1 decade, never knew about this!
that nuke
That sound those marines make when they move around is just adorable :>
I LOVE the sound effects! :D
baneling would be so OP
Wow, you really had me going until the credits screen. I was nearly convinced that this was real. Well played sir!
I knew there was someone else out there that had played this game! My uncle said it was a really limited release, it's just a matter of finding the other people that played it.

Amazing job! Very well represented! And is rightly said: back then, all video games' CPUs were 8-Bit processors, until the 16-Bit era with Genesis, TurboGrafx, SNes... So, if existed, this game would have been a huge sucess on Atari VCS (2600) and ColecoVision generation! :-)
I would so buy this game if it was fully functional and on Steam. Would want to man more hours than on any battle.net game save D2. : )
I could have believed this if not for the fact that Blizzard was founded in 1991 and the description very clearly says otherwise.

Brilliant. Well done.
that'd be the best 8-bit game ever xD the protoss should be able to meet the zerg from the other side though, other wise terran would be in the middle and it'd be unfair. great vid ^^
This...is... AMAZING
Just awensome ^^ thanks!! :D
This is gold
this is amazing :D
0:17 so cute lmao
Haha! I got a good laugh out of watching this. Thank you much.
The sound of the walking marine is just hilarious!
shit, This was something I would watch over and over when I was little
i wish i could play this lol would have a blast and give me nostalgia for the old atari 2600 era!
I always thought that a 2D real time strategy game could be pretty interesting
I remember having this game on my commodore 64 ah, the memories
this is great x) I love you
That was awsome, i like the look of the tank. This 8bit tank looks better to me than the SC2 one, which doesn't look like a tank to me, can't help it.
I feel better now, thanks.
This is astonishing.
Starcraft has come a long way.
This is AWESOME! I wish I had a game like that though!! :))
this is brilliant and terrifying
Freak'n awesome. LMAO when I first saw the clip. Good job.
That poor terran, i'm just glad that Blizzard/Activision decided to buff 'em by adding bunkers on patch 1.01
Wow. amazing~!
This is the most intense Colecovision game I've ever seen,
Wow. That was a lot of work.
awesome graphics :)
I like how the BC shoots arrows.
you've got some mad micro skillz

that is some epic micro bro
StarCraft NES Units: Marine, Ghost, Siege Tank, Wraith, Battlecruiser, Zergling, Hydralisk, Ultralisk, Overlord, Mutalisk, Zealot, Dragoon, Reaver, Scout, Carrier. There are very few units due to limitations.
