About this game
Blizzard's 1998 strategy game, and the one where the three sides do not share a unit list. Thirty missions, ten apiece. The Terrans are flexible and can lift their buildings off the ground and fly them elsewhere, the Protoss are expensive, shielded and few, and the Zerg are cheap, organic and many. All three run on minerals and vespene gas, and all three count supply differently, through depots, through pylons and through the overlords floating above the swarm. None of them has an advantage the others do not. The interface shows its age, and you can only select twelve units at a time. The asymmetry has not moved at all, and learning one race still teaches you almost nothing about playing the next.
