Starcraft Brood War is now free to download

[ZooNamedGames]

Blizzard just released StarCraft and it's expansion 'Brood War' for free on its website (https://starcraft.com/en-us/articles/20674424). Just thought it deserved mentioning since this is a fantastic game. Many hours dumped onto it against the random computer oppenents and fighting to remember the cheat code 'power overwhelming (space? No space? so on) or fighting to learn how to connect two LAN computers (tis was a nightmare back in the day).

Good times though. Go play  .

Wow, that's a great game. Kinda unusual to be giving it away, but then it's what, 17 years old? Probably trying to generate some hype sales for SC2, which is also a great game, with some handy new features. But buying it in 3 installments adds up.

Great memories though. A friend and I would just sit in a smoky haze watching my roomie/friend play another episode of what we called "StarCraft Troopers," which would usually feature a feint to distract from an incoming Hallucinated Arbiter Recall FTW! Famous last words: "Hey, where'd my town go?"

And the noobs who would start typing cheat codes into the chat bar. Until Blizzard updated in a quit confirmation, I'd tell them they needed to press alt-F4 to enable cheats in multiplayer, which would be followed by "Dumbass has left the game" and a chorus of lolz.
