The shelf life of a computer game is nasty, brutish, and short. They have to compete with other titles to squeeze onto some of the few precious slots on retail shelves. They often have less than a month before they slip quietly into oblivion, never to be heard from again. But there are those rare titles that transcend their shelf lives.

About this Game
Ground-breaking real-time strategy game that pioneered the concept of dramatically different races in one game. Players choose to control one of three races -- one human and two alien -- in single-player or multiplayer. The human Terrans have the latest in combat technology, including tanks and nukes. The Zerg are vicious slimy organic entities with teeth and carapaces, controlled by a hive mind. The Protoss are ruthless interdimensional robotic entities with powerful shields and energy weapons. Their Carriers and Reavers can unleash swarms of attack drones to complement their smaller numbers of juiced up units. Combine that with a smattering of maps and memorably sound bytes, StarCraft remains the high point of '90s RTS gaming.
