That’s right. Blizzard has announced free downloads of one of the most popular PC games to ever come out – StarCraft! Now known as StarCraft Re-mastered, the original StarCraft and StarCraft Brood War games can be played on PC and Mac. What’s even better – the original Battle.net multiplayer service included! You can still play StarCraft online for free with people from across the globe!
Note: We couldn’t find official system requirements documentation from Blizzard’s website for StarCraft & StarCraft Brood War, but the game appears to install and play well on the latest Windows and Mac OS 10.12 Operating Systems.
There seems to be a very good following with the original StarCraft game and the Battle.net channels are filled with active gamers today. Enjoy playing this classic again!
