Starcraft Queries...

[SamIchi]

Anyone here still play Starcraft? I was wonderin if Mac people can play again PC people online? I used to play a long time ago on the PC, but never online. I have Windows on my MB, but I'd rather be playing on OSX.

[ReanimationLP]

Yeah, you can play aganist PC users.

You're looking at a SC player right here. :)

Ok coo. Is ther any differences in the versions?

[Mackilroy]

There are no differences, save the platforms they're running on.

[trainguy77]

I play on a regular bases too. :D

[MBHockey]

Yep...pretty active Starcraft player here too ;D

[Bobdude161]

I got totally pwned when I played online (even on newb servers!) and never went back. Tail between my legs and all. :(

[iris_failsafe]

I hate when you entered to a scenario and in the middle of the game you realise that it was rigged and that you will loose no matter what

BTW are there any good web-pages to help design maps?

[lasuther]

I remember playing this game -- about 10 years ago. I think its amazing the game has held up as along as it has.

World of Warcraft has my soul now.

[t0ast]

Just to underline the fact: There are NO difference between the mac version and PC-version of the game, most version you get to buy are hybrid (they work on both mac and pc), and even cd-keys from PC-only versions will work.

If anyone is in for a game, contact me on aim, I get kicked around badly at bnet, so don't hesitate :(

By the way, is WGT compatible with macs now?

[beloved84]

i play sc. however, i'm playing wc3 right now and i suck at it.

Hey if anyone is interested, starting tomorrow, Circuit City is selling the Starcraft Battle Chest for $8. Great for anyone that wants the game, or for people that lost their old one, such as myself.

Whoa, thanks for the heads up. I'll be heading over.

[Rocksaurus]

count me as another sc player. i play wc3 more regularly but still play sc here and there. played it since it came out though, and I still rank it as the best game of all time. my computer upgrade path revolves entirely around starcraft 2. my name on sc is the same as on here, add me to your friends list (/f add rocksaurus) on battle.net and message me if i get on and you wanna play!

[SamIchi]

I ust picked the game up @ BB with a PM from the CC flyer. They had 1 left @ CC and it had a broken seal. 8 bucks, you can't beat that.

Does anyone know how to toggle between the game screen and my desktop? On windows you press the windows button. Could I just use Expose (all windows)?

[Sdashiki]

command-m

in windows world (at least with regards to WC3), toggling windowed mode, causes you to lag (sometimes alot, pissing off alot of allies/foes in custom games)....

on a mac, however, it doesnt.

ROCK ON.

i don't think i ever played on Battlenet. i mainly just did the campain :D

[topicolo]

one of the greatest things about starcraft is how well blizzard balanced all the sides. I used to get my butt kicked by zergling rushes but blizzard managed to fix that by making spawning pools more expensive. This actually led to a couple of wins on my part in battle.net :). I was so proud that I could actually beat people on b.net :D

[Miguey]

another player here i love this game so much, as others said it is so balanced, unlike any game ive played...yea you can play with PC users too, which is great imo

[SamIchi]

I've been playin online all day. I can't win anything.

[ZoomZoomZoom]

Well, if you just recently started getting on b.net and play in TvB, a lot of hosts are morons, and put all the veterans on their own teams while putting all the people with "0-15-2" records on the opposing team. So it might not be you, might just be stacked teams.

I went to Circuit City today. They didn't have any Battle Chests left =( Blah

[bowens]

I still play, but I have never played online.

Old wise ones
I seek knowledge.
Please...
I have STARCRAFT that I played on my old 7500 200 back in
college and it played fine.
I now have a G5 and it will not run on it eventhough
I have the old operating system OS 9
installed on it.

What is wrong?
