Description

Brood Wars is the addon expansion set for the massively succesful RTS (real time strategy) game Starcraft.

Brood Wars adds a whole new set of single player missions (notable for their consistent and engaging plot) several new units and upgrades for each race, and great new map types and mission editor functionality.

Brood wars is a great multiplayer game, very playable over a 56Kbps modem, still quite popular with both mac and PC users (beat you wintel friends :) ) and free (battle.net, blizzards online gaming service, does NOT provide internet access-- i.e. you have to have AOL, earthlink, or the like) with a ladder ranking system and cheating prevention (by blizzard, who are pretty good about fixing hacks in updates).

Brood wars requires Starcraft (full version) to play, but is a great game (though old) with new updates still being released.

Starcraft Broodwar

Starcraft Broodwar is one of the best real time strategy games in the world. I started playing this game when i was 11 and now i am 13. This game is so good i got addicted to it.

It involves 3 races: Protose,the sci-borg, Zerg, the aliens and Terran, the humans. The graphics and sound on this game is superb. I was amazed at the origanal starcraft and when broodwar the expansion set came out it was like a dream come true.

The new units in the expation sets were: Medics and Valkuer for the terran, corsairs and dark arcons and being able to build templar instead of them just being a hero and deviors and lurkers for the zerg. FANTASTIC!

This game is a must have for all you stratagy lovers if you haven't got it already. This game won quite a few awards includeing best game of the year.
