    I play it less so now because the latest patch screws up the graphics in Win7. I'd play it a LOT more if it displayed properly. I was fortunate enough to attend Blizzcon this weekend so I got to play some more of it at the retro gaming booth.

    Nope, I dont even remember playing it in the day really. I think it was a game I only played for a shore while.

    Last time I did try to play it because I got a free brood war expansion I remember having issues with the graphics and stuff so I didnt bother.

    Are you for serial? Everyone has played Starcraft, otherwise you're not a PC gamer. It certainly isn't my favorite (AoE2), but it is a very fun classic game. I don't have SC2, so I still play SC occasionally at LAN parties.
