StarCraft
Sci-fi strategy game
StarCraft is a military science fiction video game series developed by Blizzard Entertainment, first released in 1998.
Players command one of three species—humans (Terran), insectoid aliens (Zerg), or advanced psychic beings (Protoss)—in real-time strategic combat.
The game became a cultural phenomenon in South Korea, where professional leagues made it a pioneering esport.
We used to play StarCraft in the computer lab after school.
