Howdy folks! Thanks for stopping by! What’s your favorite part of StarCraft? What faction did you play? What’s your favorite voice line? I hope this finds you well. En Taro Adun! If you enjoyed the video and want more Starcraft Retrospective, check out my new Brood War video out now: ruclips.net/video/qka874ywcmc/видео.htmlsi=9LM5X4UOFyDaNdMU and a NEW History Of StarCraft video here: ruclips.net/video/6CFs4esgh7E/видео.htmlsi=FVgcAcej84Js1FNw
As a kid, my favorite memory of Starcraft was Tassadar's speech right before steering into the Ganthritor. As an adult, my favorite moment in Starcraft is the Amerigo cinematic. "We're all dead! Blow it! BLOW ITTTT...!!!" Chilling.
the Amerigo was my favorite as a kid because cool gun shooty BOOOOM. my favorite as an adult, and a line that I've repeated hundreds of times throughout my life: "looks like you mashed some poor fellers dog, sarge..."
@@vacuumsleeve haha, great cinematic! I also love DuGalle's final speech before his Battlecruiser is caught up on by the zerg at the very end of the BW campaign
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, I truly appreciate it! Oh yeah, especially after defeating the Overmind and going.. That's not it!?!!? Plus the cinematic and the year plus wait for Brood War.. Gosh I might just start playing now.. And Amerigo is just fantastic, I always thought it was sad they never got to drink one of those cold fusion beers, what a neat little idea. Hope this finds you well! All the best, Dog Dad
@@Dog.Dad.Studios i cant remember wich ones but the first 3 were Tiberian Dawn Red Alert 1 and Tib sun. (i also had WC2 as the first blizzard RTS) if i had been introduced to stacraft first my prefrences when it comes to RTS games would have been diffrent such as what button to make units move left or right click also what i would be used to would be diffrent such as factions being diffrent from the very beggining instead of being the same in the basics but when you get more advanced stuff it becomes more and more diffrent also the nostolgia for starcraft would help it score first place had i played it first i would also have played it alot more had it been on my original windows 7 pc instead of the 3 westwood games
A lot of lore questions you have were answered in the game manual that came with the game in 1998. Back then there was only so much memory space so the lore dumps were kept in the manuals.
Thank you! How did I not think about that? I still have my manual for Warcraft 3 battle chest somewhere around here. It’s a great point, especially since games took so long to download, it was a great addition to be able to read about what you’re about to play. Thanks for taking the time to write this. What was your favorite lore dump from a manual?
I remember when this game first came out. I knew nothing about it. I saw it on the shelf at Wal-Mart. I said, "Warcraft was good, so this has to be good too. I remember in elementary school hoping for Starcraft 2. Little did I know, I'd have to wait until i graduated from university. I have mixed feelings on the remaster. I guess they wanted to allign it with Starcraft 2 visuals. There is something about old school developers and coders. They had passion. My grandfather born 1935 was a programmer, not for games, but other types of software. He did enjoy games though. Nothing can match the passion old programmers had. I see huge differences between programmers today and people like my grandfather. Most new programmers do it for money and nothing else. On a side note, i posted this comment to the wrong channel on a video about a 100 year old woman from 1979. I was supposed to post it last night 😂
Howdy and thank you so much for taking the time to write your comment, I truly appreciate you sharing all of this! Wow, that's really cool about your grandfather, what type of software did he code for? I enjoyed the remasters graphics on a whole, but yeah there was some egregious misses.. Also being able to go back to the 90's graphics was a great touch that blizzard has done with almost all of their remasters, so you can see the true brilliance from those developers and coders that, as you say, had the passion. I hope this finds you well! Thanks for stopping by!
@Dog.Dad.Studios Grandfather worked on databases for companies like keeping track of inventory and prices. When I would play a game like GTA 3, he would always tell me to appreciate it since someone had to program everything you see. He introduced me to gaming with Wolfenstine 3D. I loved that game. However, to be honest, Doom is far superior. It's difficult to go back. I have a hard time returning to some older games GTA3, for example, because Vice City is so much better. Then you have games like Starcraft. I like Starcraft 2, but I prefer the original.
I found a StarCraft shareware in one of my dad's CDs in the 2000's. Have been a fan since then and I still play it until this day. What a gem of a game.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this, I truly appreciate it! What's your favorite race to play as and what has kept you coming back over the years?
Your words ring true and sad. Absolutely, I just hope that the acquisition might spur some old IPs coming back. One can hope. Hope all is well with you!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios nah paying so much money this IP will never again get into the hands of a small group of talented people There will be too many cooks, just with any other high value IP these days
I played starcraft as a kid and wasn't very good for a long time. I played maps like fastest possible and 3v3s. It wasn't till one day after playing for 6 years already I found a replay of Boxer and my whole approach to the game changed entirely. I instantly got A LOT better learning little tricks.. then I played wc3 frozen Throne where I learned about micro and hot keys. So I returned to starcrft years later once remastered came out and became pretty good. I watch professional replays from Flash and Jaedong and others.. my APM is around 230 at the moment. My understanding of timings and strategies still grows everyday over 20 years later.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! Wow, I loved fastest 3v3s, what a wild time ( flash back to playing protoss and making rows of pylons and gateways spamming dragoons, the best of time! That's incredible APM; I wish I could do that, maybe I would get 140 in SC2 (I think) back 10 years ago, but sadly as I grow older RTS are becoming harder to be better at. That's why I play DOTA seldomly. What race do you play for SC1? Do you have a favorite moment from the campaign? Hope this finds you well.
My favorite memories of starcraft are just multiple LAN sessions with my father, brother, and a random smattering of our friends. once we played 4v1 and my father still killed us all. it was so fun, and we were so bad at it. but like i was in elementary school when we started playing it
Came into RTS genre like a year ago looking to step out of my comfort zone with Command nad Conquer remastered and immediately looked for other RTS gems after falling in love with C&C, after playing Starcraft 1 and Broodwar have to say it's my favorite RTS and I have still not found a better one. Thank you for this video!
I just played the campaing through for the first time and I really loved it. There is something special about the old classics. The gameplay was great even if pathfinding and unit ai is ifuriating sometimes. I played it as a kid too but then I got stuck in one of the protoss missions. Best memory for me back then was spamming nukes as terran :). Now as an adult I mainly used more sensible siege tank and Goliath approach.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! Absolutely, I’m so glad you had a chance to play again. Yes the pathing with the level design could have me screaming, that’s why I also love siege tanks ahaha, the slow push.. hope all is well!
The overmind was created by Amon in order to subjugate the Primal Zerg, on the same note Amon was also the xelnaga who revealed himself to the protoss in order to give them the Kahla, so Amon could subjugate the protoss as well.
Starcraft was one of the first online multiplayer games I ever played, the other being Diablo. Those were pretty much the only options on a 28k dialup modem. As a result, I played an ungodly amount of it. The singleplayer campaign was incredible as well, of course. Every soundbyte and cinematic are permanently etched into my mind. I take it we're in the same midlennial age group so you've pretty much extracted my exact thoughts on the game with this video. Good stuff
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment and share it with the community! I completely agree, I played a lot of games at this time, but there is something so specific and vivid about the visuals that too are etched into my memories. I appreciate that last sentiment more than you know, and I hope to reach more people around our age to be able to share their memories and feelings towards these games. It's so much fun to hear everyone's specific experiences/ stories surrounding these games and times. I hope this finds you well! Is there one moment from Starcraft that really stuck with you all these years? All the best, Dog Dad
I started playing when I was 12 and now I'm 36, i dont play as much as i did but i watch Falcon Paladin & Artosis cast games everyday, not just an amazing game but a true work of art that has engraved itself in my soul
That’s fantastic, I have some games on when I’m grinding RuneScape ahaha. I completely agree and thank you so much for taking the time to write this! Hope all is well
I think starcraft was the very first science fiction thing I ever got into, I can't think of how many years I used to draw Marines and power armor, think about three races one being bugged like one being an absolute badasses but to an old dying empire and of course humanity constantly just fighting for scraps of the universe
As a kid, I remember being 5 to 7 years old playing with my father and brother trying to get the units to actually follow my commands without clipping through the map Great times
Got StarCraft on a burned CDR back in middle school. After school we’d all meet up in channel aaa1 on battlenet to play with randoms then un-ally and stomp them. I vividly remember playing my friends older brother (considered the best in our friend group) 1v1. I was Zerg, he was a turtling Terran. Several of our friends were observers in the game. I played macro and overran him with hydralisks and guardians. I felt like I won the GSL lol. Good times.
My favorite childhood memory is playing a SC mod called Gundam Century. I was bad at the game, and I regularly lost normal skirmishes but somehow playing with massive mechanized units was ridiculously fun for my 7-8 year old brain.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I truly appreciate it! Was it a full mod or a custom game online? I remember being confused about so many except for FASTEST possible/ tank defense, which I sunk so many hours into. Sadly I couldn’t find it when I played for the retrospective. I hope you’re doing well and again I appreciate this comment so much! Cherishing those memories is something special.
My introduction to Starcraft is a little silly. At the time I didn't own a copy of the game and I was playing mostly Warcraft 2. Money was tight growing up so new games were generally not an option. During the 2000s there was a really large scene for flash games. There was a tower defense game that was based around using sunken colonies and Zerg defenses against waves of protoss. This was obviously an unlicensed game that was just inspired by the setting. from there I downloaded the demo missions which i played over and over for months. Back then RUclips wasn't really a thing much less playthroughs of the game. I love reading anything I could about it and remember checking out a copy of the manual at the local library from the magazine section someone had donated. Much later in life with adult money I jump back into Starcraft 2 when Wings of Liberty was announced and then it was a match made in heaven.
Thank you so much for writing this, I truly appreciate you sharing this not only with me, but with others. Its always amazing to hear other's stories, especially how they started out with franchises. I'm so glad you got the chance to play WoL, and I'm so excited to replay it again for the channel soon. What was one of your favorite things that you read back then? I love the local library part, I remember ours in NYC had magazines, including Game Informer and PC Magazine. Hope all is well, and truly thank you, I can't convey it any other way : )
@@SilverKnightPCsI had a pirated copy of starcraft brood war, it was my favourite game and think that it was maybe the first game I ever played, but when I was bored I was searching on the internet starcraft and that flash game was one of the first results, also I remeber one that was like pokemon
35:55 Welp, the issue is that you can start with the protoss campaign at any moment as the only thing preventing you was a warning pop-up saying "pwwese don't do it, it's gonna be hard without the others completed", so it kinda makes sense.
The openning you show was actually from brood wars, the original openning was the footage of guys recovery salvage in space and then dying shortly after
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I believe I say this in the video, since I’m playing the remastered version and this is the default intro with that, or that was my experience. Hope all is well!
I'm honestly thinkin that the little voice over of Mengsk at 23:05 where it sounds like the Overmind underneath him speaking, might be a very subtle allusion to the idea that Mengsk is being psychically influenced by the Overmind.
Ohh. There we go! This is what I’m here for! I love this thought process and would be so down for an overmind takeover scenario that still doesn’t pan out! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios yeah, and I'm almost thinking that the overmind manipulated Mengsk into the rebellion because he knew in the long game that mengsk would contribute to his program to combine the protoss and the zerg, not even that the overmind wanted to take over through Mengsk necessarily. In other words I think the overminds plan actually worked flawlessly.
@@Dog.Dad.Studios if I had to pick probably Zerg Lurker, I love the concept and sprite matches it. Almost all for Zerg look better to me than in the remaster graphics. They tried too hard to make them look like they do in Starcraft 2(example is hydralisk sprites and little face icon when selected) which in itself isn't bad but I like SC1 designs more, also stuff like Terran troops looking less like plastic soldier toys in original instead of remastered glossy high contrast look. More or less not big problems but I hate how the ground looks in remaster, they tried too hard I feel and it looks nothing like originals floor, Zerg creep is the worst bc it's really ugly with all the gloss and brightness.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video, get to that moment and take the time to comment. I think you’re 1000% right and it makes me so sad. I hope one day we can get back to those longer days, or at least have the option for both, like Dota’s turbo. Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate you!
I love it! Best game of all time is tricky since genres make it hard to synthesize on a grand level; but on a personal level, I can see this 1000%, from the characters to the lore, from the gameplay to the mechanics, Starcraft to put it simply, is fantastic. Thanks for stopping by, I hope this finds you well!
I never played starcraft, but as a huge fan of halo and it's lore, Alien, Predator, and other scifi fiction it's a game series I have purchased and want to dive into alongside the likes of Mass Effect and Warhammer 40k, also games I've never played. I'm a sucker for sci-fi/space opera universes, so I am excited to listen to this video.
I cannot express over text how excited I am for you to experience these worlds and universe. To hear about the Imperium’s civil war, or command Captain Shepard not only as he, but humanity rise to prevalence in the galaxy, are moments and lore that I consider to be like Shakespeare, Shelley, Homer or Bryon. Halo has fantastic lore, and making the retrospective on CE, has it squarely in my top 5 games of all time. I can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are on those universes and more! There are some epics out there! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and I hope you enjoy the video. Wishing you all the best. Dog dad
@Dog.Dad.Studios Thank you so much for the response. I listened to this video, then listened to Brood War and am not going to lie. I was a little dissapointed to not see Starcraft 2 already up. I enjoyed the Brood War video just as much. Halo sort of saddens me with how little of its universe is utilized for videogames. 25 years of human covenant conflict, tales from the Covenant before meeting humanity, a mil sim game where you play as Chief on tactical missions leading Blue Team, a rainbow six styled tactical campaign with odsts, a larger scale strategy game based on naval fleet space combat. These are just a few ideas I've had about how Halo can be used in games. I don't think the mass player base would play anything besides an fps, though, so these smaller projects won't ever happen. Halo wars not having a single player campaign for covenant or flood was beyond disappointing. By the time we get to Halo wars 2 from what I have seen, the banished and unsc play very similarly to each other. The strength of other rts like Starcraft is that all the factions play distinctly different from each other, making them more interesting. Halo Infinite made me give up on the franchise for a while, with a half-baked campaign and promised dlc story content canceled. Rumored new projects just being remakes of the original trilogy. Halo isn't offering me anything right now despite all the expanded universe material they could use. This has led me to want to explore other sci-fi universes like Starcraft, Mass Effect, and Warhammer 40k. Thank you for your time and responding to my comment, I hope you have a great day/night.
Absolutely! What is life for, if not finding commonality and sharing of experiences. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my content; ahah StarCraft 2 will come soon.. Oh Halo Wars was a lot of fun, and I would have loved to see a campaign from the covenant and flood. That's weird that they didn't add that since that's a pretty classic "trio" RTS trope. Yeah you're going to have so much fun reading up on everything, especially 40k which has a lot written about it, and is so dark and epic that I can't comprehend the scale of the universe. I also like Dead Space 1 and 2, they did a good job at certain things. I look forward to hearing how you feel about these certain games/universes, and StarCraft 2 hopefully by the end of August. Wishing you the same. All the best, Dog Dad
This, age of empires/mythology, red alert, anything with a single player and some time, you can get into the RTS genre. I think it’s worth it, but I’m heavily biased having grown up on the genre. Hope you’re doing well!

Thank you so much for writing this, I truly appreciate you sharing this not only with me, but with others. Its always amazing to hear other's stories, especially how they started out with franchises. I'm so glad you got the chance to play WoL, and I'm so excited to replay it again for the channel soon. What was one of your favorite things that you read back then? I love the local library part, I remember ours in NYC had magazines, including Game Informer and PC Magazine. Hope all is well, and truly thank you, I can't convey it any other way : )
@@Dog.Dad.Studios the name of the game was Star Craft Flash Action
@@SilverKnightPCsI had a pirated copy of starcraft brood war, it was my favourite game and think that it was maybe the first game I ever played, but when I was bored I was searching on the internet starcraft and that flash game was one of the first results, also I remeber one that was like pokemon
35:55 Welp, the issue is that you can start with the protoss campaign at any moment as the only thing preventing you was a warning pop-up saying "pwwese don't do it, it's gonna be hard without the others completed", so it kinda makes sense.
Very well made video/
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it!
The openning you show was actually from brood wars, the original openning was the footage of guys recovery salvage in space and then dying shortly after
Thank you for taking the time to write this. I believe I say this in the video, since I’m playing the remastered version and this is the default intro with that, or that was my experience. Hope all is well!
I'm honestly thinkin that the little voice over of Mengsk at 23:05 where it sounds like the Overmind underneath him speaking, might be a very subtle allusion to the idea that Mengsk is being psychically influenced by the Overmind.
Ohh. There we go! This is what I’m here for! I love this thought process and would be so down for an overmind takeover scenario that still doesn’t pan out! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios yeah, and I'm almost thinking that the overmind manipulated Mengsk into the rebellion because he knew in the long game that mengsk would contribute to his program to combine the protoss and the zerg, not even that the overmind wanted to take over through Mengsk necessarily. In other words I think the overminds plan actually worked flawlessly.
Great video! Keep it up!
I appreciate both comments, and will do : ) hope all is well.
This takes me back! Thanks for the video! But Zerg are the best..
Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Also yes I agree the remaster graphics seem really off somewhere and that's why I always play on old graphics since the sprites are beautiful
What’s one of your fav sprites?
@@Dog.Dad.Studios if I had to pick probably Zerg Lurker, I love the concept and sprite matches it. Almost all for Zerg look better to me than in the remaster graphics. They tried too hard to make them look like they do in Starcraft 2(example is hydralisk sprites and little face icon when selected) which in itself isn't bad but I like SC1 designs more, also stuff like Terran troops looking less like plastic soldier toys in original instead of remastered glossy high contrast look. More or less not big problems but I hate how the ground looks in remaster, they tried too hard I feel and it looks nothing like originals floor, Zerg creep is the worst bc it's really ugly with all the gloss and brightness.
@@Miki-hk6vy thank you so much for writing this! Truly appreciate you taking the time to beautifully explain your opinion!
Wow I've been searching for this and here it is! + 1 sub
Warcraft III classic next? :)
Howdy! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate this more than you know; and absolutely, it’s on the list : )
starcraft = space horror
diablo = gothic horror
warcraft = fantasy horror
Overwatch = gay panda
id love a sorta Grand Stratgey version of Starcraft like how stellaris is
That would be sick!
47:11 People want to play games no longer that 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes - More that a hour.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video, get to that moment and take the time to comment.
I think you’re 1000% right and it makes me so sad. I hope one day we can get back to those longer days, or at least have the option for both, like Dota’s turbo. Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate you!
I think it’s not just the best RTS of all time but I would argue the best game of all time (been playing this game since I was 6 I am now 20)
I love it! Best game of all time is tricky since genres make it hard to synthesize on a grand level; but on a personal level, I can see this 1000%, from the characters to the lore, from the gameplay to the mechanics, Starcraft to put it simply, is fantastic. Thanks for stopping by, I hope this finds you well!
I never played starcraft, but as a huge fan of halo and it's lore, Alien, Predator, and other scifi fiction it's a game series I have purchased and want to dive into alongside the likes of Mass Effect and Warhammer 40k, also games I've never played. I'm a sucker for sci-fi/space opera universes, so I am excited to listen to this video.
I cannot express over text how excited I am for you to experience these worlds and universe. To hear about the Imperium’s civil war, or command Captain Shepard not only as he, but humanity rise to prevalence in the galaxy, are moments and lore that I consider to be like Shakespeare, Shelley, Homer or Bryon.
Halo has fantastic lore, and making the retrospective on CE, has it squarely in my top 5 games of all time. I can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are on those universes and more! There are some epics out there!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and I hope you enjoy the video. Wishing you all the best.

@Dog.Dad.Studios Thank you so much for the response. I listened to this video, then listened to Brood War and am not going to lie. I was a little dissapointed to not see Starcraft 2 already up. I enjoyed the Brood War video just as much.
Halo sort of saddens me with how little of its universe is utilized for videogames. 25 years of human covenant conflict, tales from the Covenant before meeting humanity, a mil sim game where you play as Chief on tactical missions leading Blue Team, a rainbow six styled tactical campaign with odsts, a larger scale strategy game based on naval fleet space combat. These are just a few ideas I've had about how Halo can be used in games. I don't think the mass player base would play anything besides an fps, though, so these smaller projects won't ever happen.
Halo wars not having a single player campaign for covenant or flood was beyond disappointing. By the time we get to Halo wars 2 from what I have seen, the banished and unsc play very similarly to each other. The strength of other rts like Starcraft is that all the factions play distinctly different from each other, making them more interesting.
Halo Infinite made me give up on the franchise for a while, with a half-baked campaign and promised dlc story content canceled. Rumored new projects just being remakes of the original trilogy. Halo isn't offering me anything right now despite all the expanded universe material they could use. This has led me to want to explore other sci-fi universes like Starcraft, Mass Effect, and Warhammer 40k.
Thank you for your time and responding to my comment, I hope you have a great day/night.
Absolutely! What is life for, if not finding commonality and sharing of experiences. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my content; ahah StarCraft 2 will come soon.. Oh Halo Wars was a lot of fun, and I would have loved to see a campaign from the covenant and flood. That's weird that they didn't add that since that's a pretty classic "trio" RTS trope.
Yeah you're going to have so much fun reading up on everything, especially 40k which has a lot written about it, and is so dark and epic that I can't comprehend the scale of the universe. I also like Dead Space 1 and 2, they did a good job at certain things.
I look forward to hearing how you feel about these certain games/universes, and StarCraft 2 hopefully by the end of August. Wishing you the same.
All the best,
Dog Dad
this is the part with the car
as o look to expand what type of games i play so maybe ill checj this one , still kinda hard to get into a whole new type of game
This, age of empires/mythology, red alert, anything with a single player and some time, you can get into the RTS genre. I think it’s worth it, but I’m heavily biased having grown up on the genre. Hope you’re doing well!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios i understand . took me a while to get into rts but i love them now
Love this game! Just wish I was better at it
Do you play online? Are you having fun playing the game?
@@Dog.Dad.Studios I play PvE Mods mostly. I do have fun, but I get frustrated that I'm very bad at microing, specifically with spell casting.
Blizzard will never make another game like Starcraft or Warcraft 3.
Sadly I think you’re right
i first started playing sc1 when I was 6 (I'm 18) and i still play the god dam game
so i kinda like it
Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to comment! What made you get into SC1 back then? Hope all is well!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios oh well it was my family we would play it together in land party's
@@joelforde2213 that’s amazing!!
What was everyone's favorite cheat code
Show me the money!
Radio free zerg
Its the worst remaster with the new art and not redoing the cuts and adding in some duck face karagan.. but i loved everything else
