The original StarCraft released March 31. 1998 and has since become a cult phenomenon. The series takes place in the 26th century, where four species struggle for galactic dominance. A remastered version of the game was released in 2017 which bundled the original with its Brood War expansion all with up-to-date graphics, and revised dialogue and audio (you can check out our review here). A sequel, StarCraft II was released in 2010 and has since switched over to a free to play model.
