Now’s your chance to play a piece of PC gaming history — Blizzard has released seminal strategy game StarCraft, for free, for both Windows and Mac. The full game, and its excellent expansion Brood War, can be downloaded now on the game’s official site, updated with a patch that makes the 19-year-old game easier to play on modern machines.
The free version comes ahead of a full remastered version of the original StarCraft, due out this summer. StarCraft Remastered promises full 4K graphics, but if you’re still okay with late ‘90s visuals, you won’t be left out of the revival — Blizzard says owners of the (now free) original game and upcoming Remastered edition will be able to play each other online.
